Sandra F. - those are tricky but fun moves!

For leading the boto fogos, the arm will go up and then down between each side to side action. In addition to that we shorten the connection to bring the follower back to the opposite side, so it should feel pretty different for the follower. For the Voltas, not only does the arm stay down but your body position changes to face your partner more, and your body flight moves down the line. 

Transitioning from the boto fogos to the voltas, the lead has to be decisive and clear! :-) The arm will stay down for the voltas, as mentioned and the connection will move down the line. Hope that helps!!

Shannon H. tight turns are hard for everyone! Posture, balance and understanding footwork is super important - keeping your footwork underneath you definitely helps. Brian and Megan talk about double turns in this video - see if it helps!

Shannon H. so sorry! It should be fixed now! Thanks for bringing that to our attention 😀 Happy dancing!

Great question Bryant R. - we don't have a set date(s) as to how often videos are added. Usually we add some every week we have a video shoot, but since we have over 20 styles on the website each style doesn't always get covered/added each week. As for the Rumba patterns you mentioned, we don't usually teach those socially, but I'll see if we can't add those to our list eventually! Thanks for the step suggestions!!

Hey Lisa B. - welcome! Glad you're loving the videos!!
We do have a list of dance music links here:  https://socialdanceonline.com/social-dance-music

It has most of the styles on there but not all (we're working on adding the rest), we also have Spotify playlists that you can search for under our dance studio, Dance Louisville!

Hey there EJ - we're sorry to see you go, but thanks for being a member!

Shannon H. sorry about that! Everything should be fixed :-)

Andrew and Amanda how awesome! That description of what you'd like to look like is the best I've ever heard! 

As far as making your practices efficient...check out this video below with some helpful hints. 

I would incorporate some solo drills for each of you and then getting together and working on what each of you were working on separately. I wouldn't try and do too many styles in each practice but maybe choose one or two. Let me know if you have any other questions!
