STEPS

Never stop stepping!

We use a very simple steps for a few reasons:

• When we look at someone dancing 90% of the time we look at their face and upper body just like when we look at some not dancing....
• We get dancing right away.
• It allows us to focus on the moves and patterns, ie what is going to impress most.

What to look out for:

• Meet the floor with the ball of your feet first and keep your weight on the ball of your feet. Let the heel touch the ground.
• Push the floor away from you and engage the hip (ie. as well as the foot and leg use the hip to push the floor away).
• With practice your step will become less stiff and more fluid .

Focusing on the step is not an excuse to look at your feet. Keep your chin up!
