Nope, not a cult- just a bunch of people who are really into walking and holding hands as efficiently as possible 😬

(but some light MLM vibes if you choose to compete)

3 things to focus on at your next social dance instead of the patterns:

πŸŒ€ Lingering in the middle space instead of rushing to the end of the slot
🀝 Keeping your hand connected to your ribcage
🌊 Finding ways to style and interpret the music without disrupting the standard flow of the pattern

Not everyone has a regular practice partner, so sometimes it's useful to practice a bit during social dancing. However, it's important to keep things simple in your brain; maybe have one or two ideas like these in your head, then leave lots of space to still enjoy the moment. Working on fewer things will also, shockingly, help you progress faster 🀯

It's not just a thing we say. Here's how it actually works:

1. You show up to class with a bunch of other cool people
2. The teacher lines you all up so you have a partner
3. They show you a few steps and you practice with that partner
4. You high five, then rotate around the circle to the next partner and do it all over again!

Why do we do things this way? Because when you social dance, you generally dance with different people each song. We recreate that environment in class so you can practice dancing with lots of other people from the beginning!

It also gives everyone a chance to dance, because it's rare to have a perfectly balanced ratio of leaders and followers. There's often one or two extra people in one role; because we rotate, no one sits out for very long.

Picture this: you walk in off the street feeling like the most uncoordinated human being on the planet.

You walk out a dancer.

It's really that easy πŸ˜‰

We see it every single class- and here's how to skip it:

Taking your time is the most underrated way to actually feel comfortable sooner as a beginner WCS dancer ⏳

You don't have to try to do everything all at once and you're not being graded- we promise. Take a breath and let yourself slow down. Focus on one thing at a time until it starts to feel natural; here are some ideas:
😌 Timing (walk, walk, triple step, triple step)
😌 Which direction you're stepping (forwards, backwards, left, or right)
😌 Keeping your arms active but not tight
😌 Holding your partner's hand comfortably
😌 Stepping right underneath yourself

The less you try to do at once, the more you'll be able to actually dance and have fun instead of internally panicking πŸ«ͺ
