Dancing, similar to some other sport may be very subjective. There are a lot of extremely educated instructors for each dance. Whether or not it’s Waltz or West Coast Swing, Nation 2 Step or Foxtrot you can see that sure features of the dance stay the identical irrespective of the place you study to bop and that others will differ.
Each dancer and teacher hears, communicates and interprets data in a special method. As a dancer we must always all be frequently engaged on updating and enhancing our personal private expertise. In doing so, we must always expose ourselves to as many instructors as we really feel snug. You can find that there are variations in opinion upon simply how and when your physique ought to transfer and the way a dance ought to be danced. My recommendation to you’d be to concentrate on what the teacher is saying whereas of their class and to offer what they’re saying an opportunity. Simply because you might have all the time accomplished one thing a sure approach, doesn’t imply that there is not a greater extra environment friendly technique to obtain the identical outcomes. If after giving what you discovered an opportunity, and it nonetheless does not give you the results you want, then be happy to proceed to do what you have been doing earlier than going to the category.
I’ve discovered that in each class, workshop or non-public lesson that I’ve taken, there was no less than one very essential level made by the teacher that has impacted my dancing in a constructive approach. I have not all the time agreed with what they’re saying, however I’ve all the time tried to no less than give it an opportunity. I’ve additionally realized that generally it is not What the teacher says, however How they are saying it. You might have heard the identical factor time and again and simply by no means been capable of grasp what you might have heard and apply it to you dancing after which another person says the very same factor another way and rapidly it is sensible.
Dancing in competitors is not any totally different than studying to bop in that it is usually very subjective. You are taking two dancers dancing the identical routine facet by facet and among the judges will choose one of many {couples} over the opposite. They could possibly be doing precisely the identical factor, with the one distinction being a head tilt or the way in which one in all them holds their hand and private desire goes to affect the entire judges. Their is not any absolute proper or wring technique to dance. Everybody interprets music in another way, so study your fundamentals, grow to be proficient and permit your self to bop to the music!
