“Why do I have to learn the proper dance technique?”

Many dancers and students ever told me that they don't want to be a competitor, they just want to be a good social dancers and having fun with it, that's why they don't need to learn the proper dance technique. Right? Wrong? I told you now clearly, it's wrong! I will reply with this explanation that without using good dance technique, you will never become a great social dancer. If you are not using the correct foot positions, or using the proper posture, then your move will seems not good, and you lack of balance, and it will make you difficult to move your next movement. And especially for man, your lady will never could feel dancing with you, because they will feel forgotten or will not feel comfortable. That will lead to no fun and continue to fighting later. A good and proper technique will not make you become a pro dancer, a successful competitor, or even an attractive performer, but will make you become a good dancer that will open your opportunity to do something else. And a good dancer will always could having fun while dancing, no matter where they dancing.

"Should I be warming up before my dance lesson?"

Absolutely yes. 5 minutes or more to warming up your body, and take some times after to stretch your body. It will help you to keep your body from injury, and will make your muscle and body ready to accept the lesson. It's very easy to hurt shoulder join for both the ladies and gentlemen, usually whenever doing turn. As the latin shoes or sandals have a higher heel than normally shoes do, stretching your ankle is a most to do to keep your ankle from injury. It only take a few minutes earlier before the class to give protection for your body, why avoid that?

Ideas for stretching include:

  • Tilt your head to the left and right, and to front and back, to loosen up neck joints
  • rolling shoulders in a backward and forward rotation as well as pushing them down and back for a feeling of proper dance posture
  • moving arms up above your head and behind you
  • circling ankles in and outwards so you don't twist them
  • moving legs from the hip joint forward and back to loosen those joints up as well
  • Stretch up your back slowly with moving your body to the left, to the right, to front and back. And then rolling it based on your hips. That will make your hip movement easier, and will make your spine healthier.
