This video covers all the key teaching points that in my experience come up during a lesson of this type (the one proviso is that there is a suggested "learning progression" with my videos and so some points from earlier lessons might not be repeated).

I have taught thousands of people to dance in person and thousands more on YouTube. I hope you enjoy this video. If you have any questions you are welcome to leave a comment for me to reply to.

To improve your learning you might want to get my "How to Partner Dance Socially" book which has much more information including the recommended learning order for these videos, a chapter dedicated to the topic of this particular video and much more.

Health and safety: Obviously contact a doctor if applicable before attempting these dance lessons. You do not have to copy what you see in the video, instead it is up to you to judge what feels safe for your own body and not do a particular movement if you are in doubt. I sometimes demonstrate on a piece of paper and I do not recommend you also dance on a piece of paper in case you slip. Twisting motions can be dangerous, for example they might cause tendon damage, so be careful and some of the demonstrations in the videos are exaggerated and it is not expected that beginners will force themselves into awkward positions. Any move where you stop or suddenly change direction must be done with care on a dance floor with other dancers. In general beware of causing a collision with other dancers on a dance floor; I do not think there is a guaranteed way to prevent collisions and if you do not want to risk it the only answer I know is not to dance. If the leader is travelling backwards this is potentially very dangerous because you may not be able to see where you are going.
