Seven
Essential Steps - Learn to Dance |
| |
| The Seven Essential Steps |
| by: Shawn Trautman |
| |
| The footwork for every couples dance is composed of varying combinations of several dance steps. These dance steps are found in ballroom dance, country line dance, and other forms of individual dance, such as jazz, tap, and even ballet. The total list of dance steps is not infinite, and the number of steps used in the dances taught in this text is limited to seven. Read on to learn these by name and familiarize your feet with them. If you take the time to go through the following exercises and read the descriptions at this point in your dance education, you will expedite your learning curve as you progress with the dances. This section is designed to teach your feet what they need to be doing so your mind can stay busy with the more active pursuit of leading the dance with your partner. Each step includes a description as well as a brief exercise. It is strongly recommended that you and your dance partner practice each of these exercises as you go through. Some steps are more difficult than others, and mastery of the footwork is the key to success because it will allow you to focus on the lead-and-follow portion to complete each dance. |
