Is there a way to search the many written articles (with links) after we sign into WCS/Social Dance Online? I've used links to articles but I'm not logged in when I read them so within that article when I click on a link to another article or a video I have to log back in. When I do I've lost the article/video and I end up with many other tabs that I'm showing as being logged in. I can search for the videos while I'm logged in but I can't find a way to search for your written articles.
Thanks for helping me out in advance.

I'm taking beginner classes that teaches basic Foxtrot, Waltz, Rumba, and East Coast Swing. We can't record or get any type of sheets to work with in our personal time. So I end up watching videos like yours. The problem is everybody teaches a little bit differently.I still need to practice a lot more to work on my confidence. I really don't want to go to any public dances being as much of a beginner as I am. I haven't reached the fun stage yet as I'm still trying to remember all of the moves while I'm doing them but I'll get there.

At the 30 second position, a blog post was mentioned that had a lot more info on this topic but I'm not seeing that. I'm looking to find information on how to practice solo. Thank you in advance.

Walking I can do . . . Dancing? I'm going to give it a whirl

I just wanted to give a shout out. I'm 55 and trying to do some new things in life to break up the monotony. I see people dancing and having fun and some of them look very chique with their style. My goal is to eventually get to that point and not to have to get anybody to shoot at my feet to make me dance.

At this point I don't have a practice dance partner. I'm taking a local class but they really don't have anything that can help me outside of their weekly 1-hr class as I'd really like to advance my dancing faster than what they can offer. I'm hoping I can get out at least once hopefully twice a week so I needed some additional online help.

At this point, I'm playing & replaying the videos very slowly while trying to figure out which foot to move, count, keep my hands in position, know how to position my body weight if at all, trying to remember the steps of some dance that I don't know fits this song hoping I remember the steps, listen to the music, figure out how to people know which dance goes to which song just by hearing the beat, etcetera while trying to look natural!

So my two left feet and I checked out some other online dance services but settled on this one - as you seem to be very active with your video postings, customer interaction, have quite a bit of PDF material (as I'd like to learn everything I can more than just the actual dancing itself - I'm just geeky that way) AND the app was a VERY nice touch as well. I can see you are putting alot of effort into this. Oh and the southern charm of everyone there doesn't hurt either.

I'm hoping I can give a great testimony in a year or so (although I know that will be very dependent upon the time I can focus as well). Thank you everybody for all that you do to help all various-level dancers. Keep up the great work as we do appreciate it!
