I Loooove Students With Goals
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?
Incredible Dancing From 18 Year Old Teddy Tedholm
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.

Cha Cha Dance Steps For Beginners: Starter Guide with Videos
Cha Cha is one of the funnest Social Ballroom dances you can learn. The videos below will teach you the most basic Cha Cha dance steps for men and women.
The Cha Cha originated in Cuba and has been named so because of the “triple shuffle” that is apparent in most basic steps. It’s a dance that incorporates small quick steps to match the fast Cha Cha music. This dance has lots of hip and body action on every step to give it a latin look. Social style cha cha fits many modern Latin and pop songs like Marc Anthony’s “I need to know” and Santana’s “Smooth” (Feat. Rob Thomas).
The way you count the cha cha dance is: “1,2,3, Cha, Cha” and repeat. The 1,2,3 counts are all full beats, while the Cha, Cha are half beats (therefore faster). An alternative way to count it is “Slow, Slow, Slow, Quick, Quick”. It’s 4/4 time signature.
In the first video you’ll learn 2 most popular Cha Cha basic steps. Right below it you will learn the progressive basic step, another popular cha cha step.

The Athleticism Of Dancing
Dancing is as physically demanding as some of the most mainstream sports out there. Here is a video that proves that this is so. Professional “Dancing With The Stars” duo, Edyta Sliwinska and Alec Mazo were motion captured to observe the strength, speed and flexibility they exude when dancing. A few key points from the video: A professional dancer doing Jive can reach foot speeds of 15MPH. A professional dancer spins at 180 RPM – Which is 4 times the speed of a record player spinning. I found out that the average tennis serve speed is of 175 RPM. Alright! We got 5 RPM on those tennis players! After watching the video, do you still have any doubts about the athleticism dancing requires?
