3 FAQ’s for New Dancers
February 19, 2010 Ballroom Made Simple offers these Three Frequently Asked Questions for New Dancers
1) I don’t know how to dance – where should I start? Every new dancer has to start somewhere – even the pro’s. Enrolling in a beginner group class is a good place to begin. Participants are all new and just as nervous as you are. And, believe me when I tell you that others are not watching you in class. They are too busy working on their own steps. Go to www.ballroommadesimple.com for a complete beginner class schedule and considering getting started sooner rather than later.
2) I have two left feet – can you teach me to dance? It amazes me how much a person can adapt to dancing in just one hour. Muscle memory is a wonderful thing. And, once new dancers learn how to shift their weight properly, learning other styles of dance becomes so much easier. If you take the time to get started and learn the basics, dancing really is fun!
3) I’m Single & don’t have a partner – should I come to class? Ballroom Made Simple has always been dedicated to teaching single dancers the basics of ballroom and social dancing through group classes that target singles. Partners are not needed for these classes. Partners are generally recommended for other group classes, however singles are always welcome. The number of singles in a particular class may be limited by the instructor to ensure that they learn as much as possible. Group classes usually rotate partners a few times throughout the class, plus the instructor can always step in and serve as a “lead” to try and ensure adequate practice time for all class participants. If you are a single dancer talk to the instructor prior to class and find out what his or her recommendation is. Do you have a dance question for Pam? If so, e-mail ballroommadesimple@yahoo.com. If you area single dancer contact Pam and let her know when is the best day and time for you to attend a Single Dancer Workshop.
