"Dancers never have to look at their feet... They know they are always at the end of their legs."

"Guys, if you're knuckles are white, you're holding on too tight . . ."
Curt Johnson, Birmingham

Note that, except where a variation demands it, one foot never crosses in front or back of the other. Each foot always stays in its own track.

A strong lead does not mean applying a lot of force. It is a matter of firm, continuous and steady control.

The three most important rules in learning to dance are: PRACTICE, PRACTICE and PRACTICE.

Don't be embarrassed or annoyed if you make an error. Laugh it off and try again. After all, it's supposed to be fun.
