I am planning on going to a dance but...

Dancing is all about having a good time. Don’t be shy to say on your first couple of dances, “I'm a beginner” or “Have patience with me, I'm still learning.” This is the best way to not feel any pressure and most likely the other person will understand and encourage you.

The best thing to do is feel the connection with your partner by simply doing a basic two-step or a side-to-side rocking motion. This will get you two moving and ease the awkward tension of standing there doing nothing. Also, the biggest thing to do is to smile and have fun!

How do you do a two step for dummies?

It's easy! Leaders start with the left leg going to the side first, while the right foot brings both feet together. Then, the right foot goes out to the side and the left foot follows right after. Followers do the same movements, but mirrored. All you got to do is repeat it!

What should you know before trying to lift a partner?

Trust is definitely the biggest thing when it comes to doing lifts, but you should also know your limits. Don't try to do more than what you're capable of at the moment.

How do you lift safely in dance?

Don’t just start flipping your partner or tossing them around, even though you're strong enough to do so. If possible, have a third person that is knowledgeable to supervise and make sure everything is stable and secure.
