Dance doesn't have to be expensive, but there are a few things we definitely think are worth the money and time ๐Ÿ’ธ

Looking for a group of built-in dance friends, coaches who care, and the support to grow as a dancer? Check out our Training Camp classes at https://www.dancingfeatswcs.com/training-camp

For when you're feeling stuck on your west coast swing journey...

1. Learn to take care of yourself (so your partner doesn't have to)
๐Ÿ’ƒ Try drills/exercises that challenge your static and active balance or your ability to move with both speed and control
๐Ÿ’ƒ Walk through your basics and focus on sustaining your desired posture, pitch, and/or poise
๐Ÿ’ƒ Use props like light resistance bands to train the positioning and movement of your frame
๐Ÿ’ƒ Train your body to transfer weight from foot to foot with control
*Talk to your doctor before beginning physical activity/exercise!*

2. Learn HOW to practice, not just what to practice
๐Ÿ“š Break down patterns, movements, and techniques into their component parts
๐Ÿ“š Create a repeatable action to train each component (a drill!)
๐Ÿ“š Self-assess constructively
๐Ÿ“š Progress your drills by adding on additional layers of complexity until you can execute the target skill in the context of real dancing

3. Get clear on your goals
๐Ÿ’ก SMART goals... because "get good" is not a real goal
๐Ÿ’ก Know that you don't have to have the same goal forever
๐Ÿ’ก Have a plan so that you can focus your efforts

4. Know when to take a break
๐ŸŒป Allow yourself time to marinate on techniques you've been training- sometimes you just need processing time instead of more reps
๐ŸŒป Just go out social dancing instead of doing lots of solo/group practice
๐ŸŒป Go to an event but don't compete, or go to a non-competitive camp or workshop weekend
๐ŸŒป Don't dance at all for a little bit (we'll always be here when you're ready to come back)

Psst... we work on all of this and more in our Level 2 & 3 Training Camp classes... just saying ๐Ÿ’…
