What song is this?

[henwoodd]

That's a good question,

First of all, it's important to have staggered feet in order to have maximal body connection and to prevent from stepping on each other. In close embrace, generally, the center of the lead's right pectoral muscle is aligned with the center of the follow's chest. Connection is continued all the way to the stomach; a little space is left between the hips. The lead's right hand is placed under the follow's right shoulder blade.

Hope this was helpful,

-Dustin

I use this video to help local dancers encourage for blues dancing. Both leads and follows here (Budapest, Hungary) are way to 'afraid' of blues: much too closed, much too sensual, much easy to misinterpret.

THANK YOU for postin', keep on doin' you goog job.

@AnonBatch If you're going to wear shoes on a wood studio floor, you have to have nice ones that won't scuff it up. Most people I know find it easier (and cheaper) just to wear socks.

[Meroviggian]
