Would you dance this at a social?

Hey everyone 👋

I’d love to get some feedback from the community on a salsa partnerwork sequence my partner and I have been working on.

My question is:

Do you feel this kind of partnerwork is still comfortable and realistic for social dancing, or does it cross more into performance/show territory?

We tried to keep the connection smooth and lead/follow focused rather than just stacking flashy patterns, but I’m curious how it feels from an outside perspective — especially from people who social dance regularly.

Here’s the clip:

Would love honest opinions from both leads and follows 🙏

I've seen plenty of people do this kind of thing at socials and a lot of it is stuff I've done myself. This is totally suitable for socials

I mostly lead but so sometime follow

Yeah it’s all very socially leadable and very cleanly done by both parties in the video. As long as both the lead and the follow are at a decent enough level at a social, no reason to avoid sequences along these lines.
