Jerry Nesseler - I think that is the end of the video, but you're right...it does seem like it ends abruptly. 🤔 Hmmm...I'll message Miss Megan about it. Thanks!!

Wendy Robinson - thanks for reaching out! Paraguay sounds amazing! What took you there? 😀We'll be filling out the Ultimate music list more, so we'll share that when it's all done and includes all the styles we cover on our site.

Hey there Liam Dauchat - great question! Depends on if you're the leader or the follower. If I'm following and feel like my partner is too fast, I'll try to purposefully extend or stretch my anchor to try and get back on the beat. If my partner is too slow, I'll do the opposite and try to speed up my movement to get back on beat. As leaders it's hard to sometimes hear the beat, so if we as the follower can help a little, it's good team work. On the flip side, if I'm leading I try to control the timing with my connection. If my partner is on the slow side, I'll try to shorten the connection to get back on the beat. If my partner is fast, I try to stretch on the anchor to slow things down a bit, or get to closed position patterns so I can control the timing a little bit more. Hope that helps!
