Here are some of the basic Ballroom Technique points that we teach

 

Closed Dance Hold

The lady is positioned slightly to the right of the man, so that the right foot of the man or lady can step between their partner’s feet. Good contact is maintained.

Posture

The man can adjust his posture by standing with his back against a wall and continue with this alignment when dancing.

Head

Generally, the man looks ahead slightly to the left over the lady’s right shoulder, she looks upwards to the left over the man’s right shoulder

 Frame & Connection

The man and lady maintain a good frame and connection without letting the arms collapse.

Timing

Dancing in time to the music, depending on the style of dance.  The man’s lead slightly precedes the lady’s movement, she should not step before the man’s lead.

 Movement

 Step forward or back with a smooth, gliding stepping action
