Learning On2 as a complete beginner and struggling at socials

Follower here! I joined one of the very few on2 studios in my area about two months ago as an absolute beginner. I initially fell in love with salsa at socials, taking the short classes at the beginning of the socials. For context, i’m in Houston so On1 is the most popular style of salsa.

I decided I wanted to challenge myself and make this a full time hobby so I’ve been taking progressive salsa courses at a very well known studio in my area, where they teach On2. I’m really enjoying it so far and have attended a couple of my studio’s socials but find that most people still dance on1 even at my studio’s socials. So i find myself struggling going from On1 to On2 and it’s kinda sucking the fun out of it for me😭

I have always enjoyed social dancing but am wondering if maybe I should stop attending socials? I feel like it may be confusing me even more and I’m starting to not necessarily enjoy socials as much. I’m even considering switching studios to one that teaches On1 so that I can maybe focus on just one style.

Any advice is welcome!! should i continue my on2 journey and still attend socials? or should i switch studios and just commit to on1???

This past year has been extremely difficult on me, especially in my romantic relationships. I went through one of the most difficult breakups back in August after being in a 6 year relationship. It was one of the most eye-opening and heart wrenching breakups of my life. I became someone I no longer recognized and just feel so lost. I then unexpectedly met someone new around January of this year - things were going very well for a bit, until my ex came back into my life.

I’m so overwhelmed about making a choice on who I want to be with. I’m anxious, irritable, and just feel like I’m constantly making the wrong choices.

My 6 year relationship was really good at the beginning, until it wasn’t but I just can’t seem to end the cycle. I’m so lost and just don’t know if I’m making the right choice.
