Tips On Lead and Follow--Connecting with a Partner

This video is divided into 3 sections with each section designed to increase your skills as a social dancer. Whatever level of dancer you are, you will enjoy working on the many exercises this video offers.

Section I introduces the "practice position hold" and the important concepts of "frame" and "resistance", along with five exercises to help you practice these concepts.

Section II focuses on Turns: tuck turns, paddle turns - using your arms, finding your balance, and "spotting" your partner.

Section III offers fun exercises in the visual connection; reading "the whole picture" while you're dancing. This section culminates in the "Top 5 Tips for Leaders" and the "Top 5 Tips for Followers"!
