Some Pointers on learning to Dance.
1 The feet are only about 5 percent of your body mass. Student seem to put to much importance to them. In fact you should learn to dance from the body down and not the feet up. Any step that has direction it is the opposite foot that is going the work. Example if you step forward on to the Left Foot it is the Right Foot that has move first the body forward then the Left Foot movied.
2. Posture Poise and Balance are more important than the placing of the feet.
3. To be a good Leader don't force the Lady to follow but rather let her follow. Make your step differnet, keep your upper frame solid and take care to keep in time with the music.
4 Lady do not try to guest what you are going to do next but wait and feel what the man is doing, and let your body follow his. Learn to trust your sence of feeling.
5. Looking down is like trying to dance carrying a bowling ball in front of you chest. Looking down does not help in learning to dance. It takes to long to see something and then react to it. Learn to trust what you feel. Your head is about 1/7th of your body weight. To dance well you need to stand tall.
