Hey there Janeen Wagner! Great point! It's really hard for the leaders when we all get started out. Not only do they need to remember what they're doing, but they have to lead the follower and convey to you what they're trying to do! It's tough! As a follower it's tough too because we want to help, so that's typically a big struggle for us! BUT, practice helps and knowing each others footwork alone before dancing together is a huge help too!! I'm not sure which styles you are learning, but see if any of these tips below help! Let me know if we can help in any way 😀

Hey there Mary Applegate!! Welcome and we're so glad you found us! We are so happy to hear that our videos are helping you and your husband...that's why we do this! If you ever have any questions along your dance journey, please don't hesitate to reach out or comment on specific videos. 😀We actually do dance cruises too, so maybe we'll see you guys on the high seas some day! Happy dancing and happy holidays! 

Hey there FRANCIS LEME! Welcome to our dance family/community, all the way from France! How cool! We love that you are practicing 'with' us through our videos, and that they're helping! Please let us know if there's anything we can help with along the way. ~Ms. Emily

Yes!! I love the left turn for the leaders...So many things can come from it! Happy dancing Justin Ammons!!

Hey Jon Griesinger - you mean 78 years young!! 😀 Learning new things can take some time, but I hope our resources and videos here, might help with the learning process!! If you ever have any questions, please don't hesitate to ask! We're here for you! Which dance(s) are you learning currently?!

! I’ve heard Portland is beautiful!! It’s on my list to visit! Thanks for sharing and being a part of our dance family 😊

Greetings from Louisville! I love San Diego!!

Hey there kolanski! You are currently in the Secondary syllabus that we have for Country Swing, but there are also some videos that are beyond the Primary and Secondary syllabus that you can find if you type in Country Swing to the search bar! There are some cool moves out there! Hope that helps - if you have troubles finding any of the videos, please let us know. 

Justin Ammons that’s so cool!! Do you have a video?! We’d love to see it! 😊

Justin Ammons totally get that! I came from a solo background too, so hearing the beat/music was never the issue, but dancing with another person was! Once you’re more comfy with your footwork, it makes adding a person much easier, but still tricky. Depending on which dance you’re doing, some connection keys are easier than others (WCS is the hardest with connection, in my opinion) - which dances are you learning currently?!
