The trick to the pretzel lead is a u shaped motion that follows how her arm can move. That makes it comfortable and fun. I find I have to adjust to...
Sure, tension is the killer of all dance moves. So if the follower holds too much tension in her shoulders, that makes injury much more likely. I...
I think they actually work best on women that are under 25. After that, the ladies realize their shoulders get hurt and prefer a leader that can...
The big challenge with all those moves is not tweaking the lady's shoulders. It takes a solid but gentle lead to stay on time and the flexibility to...
I was just going to point out that even if the lady jumps the gun on 1 a decent lead can slow her down with just a little compression. Even if her...
The thing I like about NC2S is that it is a lot like Waltz. The faster tempos demand we step on the beat while the slower tempos demand we step...

One thing to just put in the back of your mind. Pivot turns are on the slow rhythms and not the quicks. You can also only turn the direction of...
The biggest debate I see is whether guys use Latin hip motion or not?
If I am leading a lady to make a left turn where a right normally would be, a blocking motion with my free hand makes a clear indication that we...
