Hello!

[duskshade]

I have been around lurking and being scared to post over the last month - yeah, I'm a guy. Im so in awe of the other guys who are doing so well here stateside.

I am a new dancer - my wife dances and teaches BD as a wellness class for her school district. Im a capoeirista who decided to pick it up - I love the ways she moves. I've decided to add dancing to my repetoire since DW and I took a samba class together and we had a blast.

So I dance with my wife and practice with some tribal DVDs and other Netflix-type BD videos to train.

It seems like a cool place, I hope I don't piss anyone off in the process. I got scared after another dancer flounced and ran off... I generally don't like to do that.

I have no idea what style I (am attempting to) dance.:lol: I just know I life the way this moves, and I don't *think* I'll compromise my capoeira in the process... and if I do, oh well...

So, I said hi, and now I shall hie myself to the male dancer forum. LOL

To the forum - don't be scared of us, we won't bite I promise Also don't just hide in the male dance forum - you are most welcome to join in anywhere. I think it's great that you & your wife share a love of the dance. Our fabulous Zorba and his wife both dance as well. You should check his website out if you haven't already

Thanks Mosaic!

I am truly interested in learning, so I'm trying to stay cool and be cool with everyone. I promise I won't just hide in the boys' room either.

Cheers!

OKay, I admit it: I had to look up capoeira but I is now edjucated.

Don't count on being safe in the boys' locker room; we all know how to sneak in.

its quite the workout... I was pursuing it pretty vigorously, until it quit being fun and I found reasons to not go...

So, I changed my attitude, and now I go for fun. Much better.

I also dance samba de roda, which is a street-style samba. some of the hip movements are similar to BD. I hope I can translate some of the skills over, but the feel of samba is vastly different than this dance.
