How can a follower help her partner be a better leader
So I'm happy to be here. I live in Seattle and I'm 72. I've been trying to learn salsa and bachata dance for a while, but as basically an old cowboy, the salsa dance scene is a bit intimidating. And here in Seattle, everyone seems to be in their 20's, but me.
So...I wandered down the street and noticed a hole in the wall country bar named the Little Red Hen. And I love it! Folks are dancing 2 step and swing, and there's a huge diversity of ages, races, everything. It's my new home!
And they have dancing about 4 nights per week! So I feel that this is my chance to finally freaking learn how to dance, before I die!
But I was a bit shocked to learn that there are dance forms that use a six count (from the cowboy six shooter?) . But I'm figuring it out, and you all explain it well. So I'm happy to be here, and I'm very impressed by this huge dance thing that Brian B has created. Good work, Brian! Cheers, Jim in Seattle.
I just joined this, and paid for a year.
I really like Brian B's casual vibe. And the general clarity of the lessons. I also like that in your videos, it shows the whole move first before its broken down. Because often, that's the only part that I need to see.
What are bronze and silver cha cha? I've learned cha cha and it appears to be the same cha cha that I see Brian and Megan teach. I'd like to take in person lessons and see "bronze cha cha" and "silver cha cha" advertised. What is the difference and which one lines up with what Brian and Megan teach?
Newbie Introduction. Not new to dancing, but to the app and this group; and I have LOTS of questions: is there an FAQ section anywhere? And regarding the community forum, are there subgroups, so that can only focus on CW couple dancing and not have to wade through the myriad of other, irrelevant-to-me styles!
Oh, and I’m “Jumpsuit” Jamey Hall, from Fayetteville, AR., and have been dancing and teaching traditional Texas 2-Step for 40 years. Thanks!
Sure would like to see a demo of Waterfall pattern in Waltz. I see the hand to Hand which starts in same Prom position but Follower does not cross back and forth Cheers
Hi, I’m grateful for the country swing videos. I have learned quite a bit. However, the country swing library seems to have far less videos that other dances. I’m interested to learn more country swing. Will there be more videos added to the country swing library?
The video "Rumba Sliding Doors" was just posted, but it is actually a waltz video, it should be moved.
Greg and Lynn Jenkins here from Alexandria, LA. It all started on a cruise ship! Seeing how much she enjoyed lessons on the ship, I came up with the ultimate birthday present for her.....dance lessons when we got home. I figured after a month of getting stepped on, she would be done, and I would still be the hero! Instead, I got hooked on dance. Sixteen years later we are still dancing. Unfortunately, we lost our instructor Randy to COVID. Thankfully we had many videos of things he taught us. We converted our game room into a dance studio and dance practice has become our exercise routine. We also host couples from our old group, "The Divas" (his name for us) once a week to practice what he taught us. Social Dance Online has been the best we have found for further development of our dance skills. Thank you all for helping us improve our dancing. We continue to cruise and after a night or two we are..... "The Dancers".
