Bethany’s Tips:
1. Know your true reasons for wanting to learn to dance. Are you looking for the physical benefits that social dancing has to offer? Are you hoping to improve your bond with your significant other? Understanding what you are looking for out of dance makes a huge difference in your journey. How I treat a lesson shifts drastically from someone who is looking for a workout or physical therapy vs. emotional growth. Not only does it help me structure your lessons, but you can only accomplish your goals if you actually know what they are!
2. Do you have a hard time finding your balance? On the dance floor, followers can have some difficulty maintaining their balance because we are generally walking backwards and in heels. That isn’t exactly normal for most people. If that isn’t your strong suit, here is an exercise to help find your center: Practice walking along your tracks forward and then backward while using a sturdy surface (think kitchen counter) to help yourself stay upright. Gradually, rely on the counter less and less until you can walk backwards on your own. This will make you feel much more confident on your backward steps so we can focus on following and less on not falling over.
Kendi’s Tips for the Guys:
1. Less is more! Many people associate dancing with how much they move-that’s why you see those crazy funky moves on most social dance floors like at the Country bars or Salsa clubs! 🙂 You do not have to take giant steps to be dancing. It’s actually easier to take small steps and be comfortable, then to rush around the dance floor. Same thing with moves, use them in moderation. Too many moves in a row or turns can be overwhelming for that lady that you are trying to sweep off of her feet. Guys, make sure to relax and do not overdue too much on your next night out dancing! 🙂
2. Dance it out! Go out and dance! To be the best leader, you need to be comfortable with all types of frames. So get on out there and go for it! Even if you only dance a couple times, the more miles you log on that dance floor, the better you will be!
