So I'm happy to be here. I live in Seattle and I'm 72. I've been trying to learn salsa and bachata dance for a while, but as basically an old cowboy, the salsa dance scene is a bit intimidating. And here in Seattle, everyone seems to be in their 20's, but me.
So...I wandered down the street and noticed a hole in the wall country bar named the Little Red Hen. And I love it! Folks are dancing 2 step and swing, and there's a huge diversity of ages, races, everything. It's my new home!
And they have dancing about 4 nights per week! So I feel that this is my chance to finally freaking learn how to dance, before I die!
But I was a bit shocked to learn that there are dance forms that use a six count (from the cowboy six shooter?) . But I'm figuring it out, and you all explain it well. So I'm happy to be here, and I'm very impressed by this huge dance thing that Brian B has created. Good work, Brian! Cheers, Jim in Seattle.
We're working on covering all the dance styles, but I'm curious...

Is there a way to remove videos from my Favorites? Also, is there a way to reorganize them? I would like to group different dance videos together and move the most important ones up front in my Favorites.
I love Social Dance. I currently dance at least twice a week. Sometimes twice on Sunday. I'm a profiecent beginner dancer, East Coast, Waltz, Foxtrot, Cha Cha, Argentine Tango.
I'm here to add more patterns to what I already know and to learn other stypes.
I had a great weekend in Huntsville AL teaching the "Rocket Westies" group. From group classes to technique classes on connection and styling and even a competitors class. I got to meet a lot of people who follow our videos. The highlight for me was meeting Mary. She saw WCS and wanted to learn so she looked up a class but then found us on youtube and learned the basics BEFORE she went to her first class. She thought it was a big deal meeting Brian B from youtube but it was a BIGGER deal to me to know that I'm helping people get involved in dance without ever meeting them in person. The magic was... in this case I got to. Thanks to Mary, the Rocket Westies and my host Jen.
Just curious if anyone is at south bay fling in california. My teachers are doing night club workshop tomorrow and killed in two step tonight.
Any tips/advice for competing?
I am new to dance this year and have been taking lessons for months now. I am thinking about singing up for a ucwdc event in March as a newcomer. I’d appreciate any advice or anyone willing to share what their experience was like as a first time competitor.
