    This quote is so true. Sometimes I feel I'm doing the same steps all the time, but all it takes is a good song and a good partner who will improvise with me. With these 2 things I no longer feel I am doing ceroc I feel that I am dancing and being one with my partner and the music. It's an amazing feeling every single time.

    easy solution ... practice while on holiday,

    find a nice bar and good music and dance, show off your wonderful talents to the people that have never danced before and get served free cocktails from the bar staff for being such a star

    That's what we did while in Portugal last week......

    Quite right!

    I usually holiday alone which reduces some of my dance options perhaps but when I was in Buenos Aires last year the (tango) performance couple started asking people from the audience up to dance. Not wanting to show myself up with my very limited tango, I led her into ceroc moves to tango music and she followed flawlessly - and thrilled to discover a new dance!

    I'm in Rio next week (hols cum work search) and have listed all the salsa bars so I can get a good dance, even if it's not jive.

    Might have to work on it a bit till I get to the free cocktails stage though! :sorry

    Saude!


    ps (re your avatar name) - are you connected to the Edinburgh salsa teacher/performers called Salsa Angels?

    I must say that a period off the dance floor every so often is no bad thing.

    If I dance too much.(I have just done 5 straight nights - if anyone sees me on a dance floor tomorrow (Wed) then get a chain and tow me off!), then I lose creativeness and may end up grinding out moves.

    Grinding is not pleasant because it means it doesn't flow, and in my case I can end up dancing mechanically which isn't pleasant for partners.
