"Please remember that you are DANCING.
Let the music move your soul - LITERALLY. Pay attention to your
partner and every movement he or she makes. Each movement or lead
is a part of the connection and conversation. Let
the momentum flow."
"Learn true connection.
Without it, you cannot dance this dance the way you want to. Have
fun!! It shows!!"
"Something
that I feel is crucial in making that next step as a dancer is
understanding the Rolling Count. It makes the difference
between someone
dancing within the music compared to someone marching on top of the
music. I feel this is the single biggest element to achieve in
elevating your dance."
"Stay in control of your own balance. Don’t rely on your partner to
hold you up. Mild amounts of leverage are all that is necessary to
communicate. If the connection is too great, you loose the ability to
move efficiently. Stay light and responsive. Leaders: Send and
receive the follower smoothly and gradually. Abrupt actions create
abrupt responses.
Followers: The amount of connection needed to fill the anchor is equal
to the amount of force sent."
"Of course the best dancers have solid
balance, foot work, connection, and musicality. Mastery of these
fundamentals makes the dancing appealing and functional. But what
separates the "men from the boys" is the ability to commit 100% of
yourself to the movement. This happens when a technically sound dancer
can first, find their own unique style and then, express it with their
whole mind, body and soul! It is what moves your audience and,
essentially, is the reason we dedicate ourselves to the art!"
