Explaining the Essence of the Dance

1. Not a dance you learn -it's a dance you explore
2. How can a dance that has only 5 basic steps- forward and back walking, side stepping, change of weight and pivoting- be so complicated.
3. The MAN ( in this country- the LEADER) controls the movement.
4. Balance and the embrace start you on your way.
5. Maintain your own axis and if you are the WOMAN (FOLLOWER), as Sr. Copes emphatically states, "Don't lead!"
6. Use the music to feel and develop the moves. Don't rush.
