I’m sure the music artists love the exposure, but probably want the monetary gain too and I don’t know how that all works. I’m glad that the shorts and reels have more music options, which is nice!

WCS can we done to so many music genres, I’ve seen quite a few great dances to classical music. I think it forces us to test our boundaries a bit! Always a good thing 😌

Thanks for bringing this up!

Hey there @Melinda! I can't really speak to TikTok because we haven't messed with it much, but I will say Facebook, Instagram and YouTube can be very particular when it comes to music licenses. Some music dubs are great and match perfectly, some aren't meant to match (I know, weird) and some try really hard but don't quite match up. The music options have come a long way on all of the platforms, but I guess if the music doesn't match up for now, can you mute the video? Sorry I don't have more insight! 🤨

Chiara Randazzo Papa you're so welcome! Those 4 songs might be all you need to practice, but variety is the spice of life! Spotify also has some great Foxtrot playlists too! We'd love to see a video of your first dance!!! 💗

Chiara Randazzo Papa that’s SO COOL! Italy is one of my all time favorite places I’ve been. Can’t wait to go back and visit more of your beautiful country! Thanks for being a part of our dance family! 🩷

Hey there Melissa Howard - what about hearing the music is hard? Is it finding the one? Or the counts themselves and how the patterns fit to music? 😀I'll see if I can help!

Margaret Page - balance can be a tough thing to tackle. Were you talking about balance in turns, or just in general? We've got a couple of balance drills that might help you. I've included one below, but there are more on the site that you can check out!

Cheryl Ufnowski - it's never too late to start, so we're happy you did! For WCS, downloading the pattern tree might be another helpful tip to learn patterns, and what base patterns they come from :-)
