When I ask a new student what dances they want
to learn, I often see a glazed look come over their eyes and the first dance name they can recall come out of their mouth.
I know how cool Emmitt, Mario, and Benji
have made the Quickstep and the Paso Doble look.
These are great dances, but not usually the ones
you should start out with. This music isn't played socially, so you will still be setting down at the dance.
Depending on your favorite music, what makes you tap your foot and feel
engerize, is a good place to start. From here, I can show you what dances fit your music.
I strongly suggest you start with at least 4 dances....2 slow, 2 fast.
One dance helps another dance as they are all interelated. This causes you to learn faster and be more popular
at the dances.
The down side of this is that you won't get to drink
very much, you will have women grabbing you to dance, and you will lose weight and tone up.
