Hey Jeremy! I’d love to hear how you approach dancing to a song you’ve never heard before. Do you enjoy it, and how do you find ways to play with the music? When I don’t know a song, I often feel like I’m just repeating familiar figures rather than really connecting with what I hear. I find it harder to enjoy the dance because I don’t know what’s coming. Do you listen for clues to predict accents etc? Or do you focus on reacting to whatever is happening in the moment? I’d really appreciate hearing what goes through your mind and how you’ve learned to feel comfortable with unfamiliar music:) P.S. I’d love to hear from anyone else too!

Hi Jeremy! I've been sick this week and watching many, many videos to pass the time 😅 which has been amazing! There's so much great info on here. I have a question about Kornel & Catharine's basic step lesson. They mention it's their interpretation of the bachata basic & everything, but I'm curious about where their methodology sort of falls on the basic spectrum? I've been trying to learn more about different styles of basic, i.e., sensual vs traditional vs moderna & am just wondering what theirs is most similar to. Also trying to develop the style of mine & wondering what elements I want to incorporate. There's a lot of info out there so it's been a bit tricky to figure out!

Any tips for this choreo please 😊?

Hey everyone, I put together a list of songs that I think would be great to study for Geneva or future competitions 🤍🤍🤍 Geneva - classics https://open.spotify.com/playlist/6RkOkPVSYpyT8sIbVMrq7b?si=E1pttusoSuGFb2rQbXd6HA&utm_source=copy-link&pi=8cEjFxaJRl6HN Geneva - new wave / new hits https://open.spotify.com/playlist/6h7h2sofaErNJhOCPMW40g?si=sfaJAr9BShSGvtWgYeB_1A&utm_source=copy-link&pi=bYL2Zf9mQw6BV Geneva - traditional https://open.spotify.com/playlist/5q5LnCUWRTCvFeCUpayIkN?si=OnBVwOO4QFKrWfqLdHdQ4w&utm_source=copy-link&pi=yW71VZvaQ-qqg

Hi Jeremy, I noticed that when you do the linear 'derecho' basic, you don't send your hip to the right and send your chest to the left when you step on 1 like they do in Esencia which is what i was taught. Is it considered incorrect to do this basic, or is it better to learn the traditional Dominican basic instead?
