Yeah, not gonna lie, I usually have to avoid the AT section of this board, let alone actual AT communities.... and mine is not a fragile dance ego...
Wondering why there is no option "e" - see if there are any female coaches of equal or better quality in the area. A new perspective is always good.
I usually watch WDC top-level events on YouTube... I've started watching WDSF events, and it seems like the two organizations are actually diverging...
I whined and moaned about our school not giving us adequate space, forcing us to beg a tiny little floor from a local church. Ugh, useless, we...
It was indeed years ago for me, too, so I can't remember clothes :( :( Oh well :P
I don't think I've ever had just one dedicated instructor! And none have ever had a problem with me seeing other coaches... I would find that...

Picture would help... but just going by your post: Be careful of "shoulders down and back". Pull your shoulders too far back, and it just forces...
As one of the former, and no longer the latter - the difference between "collegiate" and "college student" really don't matter (at least in my...

Honestly, I would not go after college couples unless they were top-of-the-top in the amateur circuit. They don't have the budget or the exposure....
I used to have this... habit, I guess?... of somehow getting the heel of one shoe stuck into the front part of the other shoe. Happened every...
