DANCE TIP - STARTING ERRORS BY FOLLOWERS

The start of a dance is often overlooked because leaders tend to focus on what steps they plan on doing with their partner rather than how they plan to get them started. It's just somehow assumed that they will start together. This is a false assumption.

Even the hottest dance steps will look amateurish if partners don't start their dance together. So this month I'd like to focus on starting errors that followers make and how to avoid them. Don't worry, next month I'll give the leaders equal time.

There are two common mistakes that followers make:

1. FOLLOWERS TEND TO START BY THEMSELVES.

We ladies are so impatient that if the leader doesn't start the dance when we think he should, we just start for him. To make matters worse, ladies will sometimes continue dancing after a bad start totally oblivious to the problem that the leader now has in trying to figure out what's going on.

This problem is easily fixed with PATIENCE. Followers must train themselves to wait for the leader's signal to begin dancing even if that signal takes a long time to arrive. Remember that you are PARTNERS during the dance and as such you must work TOGETHER to look good on the dance floor.

2. LACK OF READINESS.

Sometimes followers can be so passive that the only way to move them is to physically lift them off the ground. Ladies, there are two things that you can do to put yourself in a state of readiness.

a. Check your posture. Make sure that you are poised and in the proper form for whichever dance that you are about to start. (The form may vary with the dance so think back to the beginner class that you took where this was discussed.)

Slouching into the ground will make you heavy and difficult to move. Raise your carriage and be ready for the direction to start. This will have the added benefit of making you look thinner and much more graceful.

b. Be sure to maintain tone in your arms. This is true even when doing the smooth dances in a closed position. Maintaining a degree of resistance in your arms will help you to quickly respond to changes in the leader's body movements.

Remember that following is not a passive activity. You must be actively involved in receiving information from the leader and responding to his cues.
