    Vocabulario de la Danza / Spanish Dance Terms I am helping organize dance events and want to start making announcements in both English and Spanish, but I don't have a lot of Spanish vocabulary for dance terms. Hopefully you can help me! How would you say: "Lead" and "Follow", as in, this person who follows the other person's lead "Dance Partner" "Backstep", the quick step in swing dance where you literally step backwards "High Five" ____________ Estoy ayudando a orginazar eventos de danza y me gustaria hacer anuncios en ingles y español, pero no se los palabras. Por favor, ¿me puede ayudar? Como se dice: "Lead" y "Follow", como normalmente un hombre hacer la danza y una mujer hace que lo dice. Espero que hay palabras que no necessita un género, porque no nos importa si un hombre ó una mujer hacer la danza ó hace que lo dice. "Dance Partner" "Backstep" "High Five"

    I understand what you're saying, but I would use a different verb. "Change" seems like you're trading or switching with someone else. I would use "buy" and "sell". "I will buy a new car as soon as I get some money." Then, if someone asks what you will do with the car you have now, you can say that you will sell it.

    Good question! You can use the phrase for both situations. It can be during or after the snow falls, so long as there is snow visible (not melted). If you play with the snow, the snow will be the object of play. Possibly, making a snowman, a snowball fight or building a snow fort. If you play in the snow, the snow doesn't necessarily have to be the object of play. You could play tag with friends outside in the snow, or run with a friend through the falling snow, or even set up a card game out in the snow. In this case, the snow is not what you're playing with, but rather you're playing with someone/something else while there is snow around you. You could be playing with the snow, too, and this phrase, "in the snow", would still make sense. Does that make sense?

    Reading will help improve your writing skills. If you'd like to write stories, try books. If you'd rather practice something more formal, try research papers or essays. If you'd like to learn more slang words and relaxed grammar styles, follow a few blogs. If you have a conversation partner, you could write a page or so and ask them to look over it for you and make suggestions.

    As someone from the US, I would only say that to someone else if I were joking with a friend. It's not something I would say as a typical answer or to a potential employer. Again, only if I'm very familiar with the person and they know that's not how I typically talk. I'd say it in hopes of making them smile or laugh.

    Interesting question! A skip is a fun pattern of walking. It's faster than walking and takes more muscle strength. It's something kids can do together and laugh when they mess up the pattern. Here is a video tutorial of how to skip: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qCbZGQtnMvA A hop is where you balance on one leg, hoist yourself into the air, and land on the same leg you started on. A jump is like a hop, but you shift from one leg to another. So you balance on one leg, hoist yourself into the air, and land on the other leg. "Hop" and "jump" are decently interchangeable nowadays. Most people wouldn't know the difference; I had to look it up! I would understand "hop" and "jump" to mean leaping into the air, either to cross a crevice or to catch something high above the head. "Hop" feels more cute and child-like, whereas I might use "jump" with adults or more serious situations. Does that make sense?

    Hm, that is a complicated turn of phrase. It means that the anesthesiologist thought she had already gained control of her muscles, but she was still a little bit paralyzed. Does adding this phrase help? "But I guess he must have thought I was coming out of the paralytic more than I was [coming out of the paralytic] because he took the tube and pulled it out of my throat."

    My answer will be from the US colloquial language use. If someone is going to sleep, a friend might say to another friend, "Get a good night's sleep." Or "Get a good night's rest." Or the shorter phrase, "Sleep well." It's a warm response that wishes well to the other person, especially if their health is poor or they've had restless sleeping patterns. For the difference between "Have a good night" and "Good night", my answer is the same as Bob's.
