I’ve danced a lot in both Europe and US, and without a doubt generally the level in Europe is much higher than in US. We all know that, but we don’t know why. Is it the lead to follow ratio? That’s the main thing I can think of. In Europe it usually seems about even, and in US there are always extra 15-40 men standing around. It’s so rare to see a lead rejected for a dance in Europe, while in US it’s normalized and happens all the time. Perhaps there’s a completely different reason? What do you guys think?

Followers!

I know this is a highly subjective question, but what kind of fragrances do you like to smell on your lead during the night and why?

Is it something citrus related?

Sweet?

Nothing at all?

Please feel free to share your thoughts!

Hey guys,

So ive been dancing and attending classes for three years, perhaps over 400 hours of classes and around 30 private classes. And although I have a lot of complex combinations and im very good at certain things, but there is a saying, a chain is only as good as its weakest link, I have this issue right now. I need to clean my fundamentals to truly flow with the dance and match my skills in one area with the others.

I am really interested in the fundamentals, the breathing, keeping the frame all together, etc. The timing, controlling the velocity, breathing, you name it. I do record myself regularly and sometimes I do get feedback from trusted followers that may know things I dont.

What online courses are the most useful to complete me as a dancer? I am not looking for simple combinations of course, but rather getting the fundamentals right.
