Getting the Most from Your Dance Lessons

by Leon on August 4, 2010

Tango imageThis is an article written by Dan Pittman. Enjoy!

Dance students naturally want to get the most they can from their lessons, but often lack a clear understanding of how to do so. In fact, any student’s progress depends mostly upon how they approach and use their lessons. Fast, complete and efficient progress will result only from a logical and structured approach to learning.

In this dance instruction video I teach that “moving your body weight” before stepping can be very beneficial. I use the Salsa basic step as an example for explaining – but you should apply this technique element everywhere! I will make a follow up video with more examples of how it is used with different dances and steps. WATCH VIDEO NOW>>

I Loooove Students With Goals

by Leon on June 16, 2010

From a teacher’s perspective, the best student to have is one who has a clear goal. A student with a goal will usually be more prone to take lessons consistently, practice and therefore improve. It is no surprise that teachers everywhere, myself included, love those kinds of students. I get inspired and energized when I work with them. It is important to note that it does not have to be a competitive goal, any person can have a goal that suits their needs.

Here are 5 examples of goals one might have:
1. A social dancer who wants to be able to dance an entire song without stopping at the next studio party.
2. A Pro/Am competitor who has a goal to compete on date X.
3. A wedding couple who wants to prepare for their first dance.
4. A student wanting to lose an X amount of pounds.
5. A couple who wants to perform a choreographed show piece at the next showcase.

As you can see, these 5 examples are extremely varied. What the goal is isn’t as important as just having one!
So do you have a goal?

ChaCha-Side-Basic-PicAs promised, the last fundamental step in the Cha Cha. Just to recap, in the basic in place we did the triple step on one spot. In the progressive basic step we did the triple step forward and back. And now in this side basic step we are doing the triple step sideways.

For those who don’t know I am a big fan of  the contemporary dance style. Season 7 of So You Think You Can Dance had just begun and already I had been blown away by an extraordinary young dancer, Teddy Tedholm! His ability to convey emotion in his dancing is “genius” as Mia Michaels noted. And he’s only 18 freaking years old! I wish I was that mature back then… I hope he will make it to the top 10! Nevertheless, his audition performance was just brilliant.
