Thanks, found some good ones in the music guide.
Beginner here. I'd like to develop a rumba playlist to practice with. Any suggestions?
CS, a couple of questions, if you don't mind. By rolling foot action, do you mean heel to toe (as opposed to Latin dancing)? What do you mean by...
I listened to a couple of foxtrot songs again, and yes, what a difference! SQQ fits much much better. I'll never be able to do SSQQ to foxtrot...
Beginner ballroom dancer here. Is the slow-slow-quick-quick movement pattern of foxtrot similar to swing, in that you have 6-beat patterns against...
OK, I'll listen to more music and practice the step pattern to the beat. Yeah, my dance teacher hasn't explained much about the music at all....
What I'm saying is that without the 4-beat measure serving as a map, I find it's easy to lose the tempo with the footwork. Going back to the salsa...
Yes, that's it. I'll check out some of the previous threads on this. I guess I'm finding it hard to maintain the correct rhythm in my steps,...
Not really sure what the difference between East Coast and West Coast Swing is, but I think it's East Coast Swing and Big Band. The first thing we...
Swing rhythm question Newbie here. I've learned that swing has a slow-slow-quick-quick-slow . . . rhythm. What I don't understand is how that maps...
I'm trying to find some ballroom music that is representative of the kind of music one would hear at social dances. Any recommended waltz or foxtrot...
That sounds perfect, I'll check it out.
Thanks, I'll check these out.
Problem solved. Last class, I kept my wrist straight, and didn't experience any elbow pain.
Yeah, that's the plan, as opposed to a real club not associated with a dance school. Thanks, I'll keep an ear out for that.
No, no social dances where I'm taking classes. But the place holding the socials is part of a school, and yes, they have pre-social classes....
I'm trying to find some salsa music that is representative of the kind of salsa one would hear at social dances. Some of the stuff I've heard on...
I don't take classes there, though I suppose that doesn't change the gist of your advice. And the club is open to anyone, though I imagine plenty...
Sorry, I'm a leader. If the music isn't tricky and the beat is pretty obvious, I can find it, though I'm not sure I can find the 1 as opposed to the...
I'm a beginner, and know the basic On 1 step, side step, cross body lead and ladies' and gentlemen's turns. Not so good at identifying the 1 beat in...
