What is the best way to become a better dancer?
Try to keep these general principles in mind … 1) Practice both with a partner and by yourself using exercises to improve your balance and ability to pivot while maintaining your balance. Independent practice is just as important as practicing with a partner. 2) Dance as much as you can with as many partners as possible. 3) Take class from good teachers who inspire you, expect the best of you but who still let you have a little fun 🙂 4) Seek feedback about your dancing (it is easier to to take than a refusal when asking another to dance) . 5) Remember your goal is to become a good dancer. This does not mean you have to look like a carbon copy of your teacher or other good dancers in your community. Find a style that works for you and on you. 6) Do not forget you thought this would be fun…let it stay fun and do not be too hard on yourself. 7) If you are taking as a couple remember to be gentle with each others feelings. Let the teacher teach and concentrate on your own part instead
