"Defensive" Dancing PDF Print E-mail
Written by Dave   
dave-tipsUnfortnately, not every partner we dance with is light and well connected.  Sometimes we dance with others who pull a little or are a little out of control.  To save yourself remember that you are responsible for your own body and balance.  Never let anyone else knock you off your center, and protect yourself from the ole "yank and crank". How to do this? Here are some simple ideas: 1) relax and don't be stiff,  2) leave a little slack in your arm that can act as a buffer, 3) drop connection, reset and reconnect.  Give these a try!

ValarieWomen- you should always carry your own weight during a dance.  Many times women think that because it is the man's job to lead that he should be pushing or pulling her around the floor.  Not the case!  Men should lead the direction that he would like us to move in, and the women should then react and move themselves. A man should never have sore arms after a dance because his partner hung on him throughout the entire dance.

ValarieMen- after a dance you should always walk your dance partner off the floor.  You don't necessarily have to take her to her seat, but you should at least take her off the floor instead of just walking away from her once the song has ended. Believe me, the women will really appreciate it.
