Learn from watching

When we are not dancing, we are often standing by the side watching...

When we are watching a couple dance.... sometimes we'll think.. "VERY NICE AH"... but have you ever asked yourself, how come nice? What made them look good? Can I do the same?

Conversely,.. wazan, this couple, so ugly, ever wondered WHY?? How come ugly? Have I ever done the same thing (wah, so I ever looked just as ugly?)

Being able to identify what looks good, etc. is the 1st step to be able to learn just from watching.

I spent many hours watching people dance. Good couples beside newbies, etc. Comparing the difference, trying to identify what made the difference.

It takes a bit of research but, it's definitely time well spent. Ask your teacher here if you have doubts. A lot of things.... same move, but some subtle points made them look totally different.

I've tried to convey such points during my intermediate classes and some of the students who have been consistently attending them to repeat the class are starting to grasp them :)
