Hints & Tips for a great Dance
General Tips
Keep feet as close to the ground as possible.
Always look at your partner's face when dancing,
unless you are doing a turn.
Never step on the heel first, you should always step on the
ball of the foot, regardless of the direction you are heading.
The faster the music the smaller the steps.
The slower tracks require longer steps and allow more free-styling.
Tips for Girls
For a more flowing movement, the follower
should carry her own weight and not lean on the leader.
Good hip movement comes from getting the legwork
right and is not a separate movement
During the partner holds arms should be slightly tensed,
and some pressure applied.
Always keep your body upright when dancing,
with feet pointed slightly outward.
Tips for Boys
Be relaxed, do not hold the partner too tightly.
During turns relax the arms to let them move more freely.
On the break steps, do not just move your feet,
transfer all your weight backwards and then forwards.
