Who Should Take Privates?
What Subjects Can I Concentrate On in a Private Lesson?
It helps if you have some ideas of what you want to work on. This way we can focus on your immediate concerns first. As a beginner, you must focus on the basics first. Each dance has a set of beginning moves that must be mastered before moving on.
IF YOU ARE BEYOND THE BASICS, HERE ARE SOME AREAS THAT YOU CAN ALWAYS IMPROVE: * Connection and frame. Hands, arms, shoulders and general body tone. * Turns and spins ... hand connection and arm tone in turns, spotting, smooth out the lead and follow in turns. Learn to keep your feet under you, keep your body posture vertical etc. * Leverage and compression. Learn contra body motion and contra body placement. Work on lunges, dips, mirroring your partner etc. * Foot placement as it relates to balance and smoothness. Learn how to stay grounded in your foot placement.
I don't dance but my wife dragged me there last month for a night out with her girlfriends and their husbands. After about an hour of easy lessons I got over my fear of looking like a fool in public and actually made it around the dance floor well enough to make my wife happy. The instructor was easy to follow, even for us non-dancers (thanks for your patience Randy!). We've been back twice and had a blast each time. The people who go there are really nice and we've made some new friends. Guys, even if you can't dance, take your wife/girlfriend here for lessons. Your lady will appreciate the effort!
