Description

Learn HOW to dance with your partner... not just WHAT to dance!

Whether you are a Beginner or have been Dancing for Years this course will teach you Essential Skills and Secrets for Partner Dancing which produce DRAMATIC results, including how to connect, lead, follow and flow effortlessly with your partner using your body's momentum.

Most Dance Instructors just teach ‘steps’ and ‘patterns’. You can learn steps anywhere on the web or at a club, but If steps are all you learn, you can develop very bad habits.

This course will help you look great and feel fabulous whatever steps you take.

It’s one thing to know the steps to a dance, but if a man is pushing and pulling you around the dance floor, or a lady has a hard time following anything other than the steps she knows, or she ‘back leads’ when she doesn't feel confident with her partner, you’re missing out on the best part of Partner Dancing:

Ladies LOVE a Man who can lead her confidently... Men LOVE a Lady who can follow him effortlessly.

In this course, you will learn these transformative skills and secrets… and more:

  • What you can do to prepare yourself for dancing with a partner
  • How to develop a proper connection with your partner
  • How to lead using your body, not by pushing and pulling
  • How to follow his movements by properly mirroring them
  • How to develop a continuous movement flow
  • How to get out of your head and into your body
  • How to use body momentum to effortlessly move together
  • How to avoid common mistakes
  • How to apply the essential skills and secrets to popular partner dances

Who this course is for:

  • Beginners will greatly benefit by starting their training with an exceptional foundation of skills and knowledge, which will make learning to dance SO much easier. They can avoid the common mistakes others make.
  • Intermediate and Advanced level Club Dancers or Social Dancers who have already learned "steps" and "patterns" can totally transform the quality of their dancing and be thrilled by the amazing difference in a short period of time.
  • Social Dance Teachers can learn simple methods to easily teach their students Essential Skills and Secrets for Partner Dancing which will greatly enhance their dancing experience.
