Dancing well with a partner involves a different approach than just “shaking your booty” at a club. Communication between partners is very important. The better the communication, the better the dance! The objective is for the gentleman to convey his intentions to the lady in time for her to respond.
While this sounds obvious, it takes a bit of practice and instruction to achieve. Dancing is a physical activity that involves moving in ways that we may not normally move, in a rhythmic way. Most people need time, encouragement, and patience to master the skills needed to be a stylish dancer.
I Can’t Dance! Have you or your partner ever said, “I could never learn to dance…I have two left feet!” - or some similar sentiment? The good news is that dancing is a teachable, learnable skill. No one is born knowing how to dance. Frequently we hear someone say, “Dance lessons? Not for me - I can’t dance.” Please, do not be shy about approaching a dance teacher for help. If everyone knew how to dance, there would be no need for lessons.
Some people seem to have more a natural feel for the music and for the movement of their bodies than others naturally possess. However, with expert guidance from a patient instructor, nearly everyone can learn to move on the dance floor with confidence and grace.

will follow, providing lots of opportunities to use those new dance skills. And don’t forget, when the children are ready to leave the nest, dancing can provide the parents a fresh way to reconnect as a couple.
Relax, Smile, and Have Fun! When you and your brand-new spouse are the only couple on the dance floor, you will be surrounded by all of your dearest friends and loved ones, watching your first dance as a “Mr. and Mrs.” At that point, the most important thing they want to see is your beaming smile, reflecting your love for one another. Remember: the guests won’t know your choreography, or if you skip a step or throw in something extra. Don’t worry about making “mistakes” - just smile lovingly at one another and at your friends and relatives, and dance your way into your new life together!
