Getting over the dancing improvisation fear - What about dance

One of the hardest things in social dancing, for leaders in particular, is knowing what you’re going to lead.  As a beginner it’s probably the hardest thing to get past.

How to start social dancing - what about dance

So many people go through life saying they wish they could dance, but don’t do anything about it.

Dance musicality tips - What about dance
