I. Cause beginners dont want to spoil the other persons dance (and their time) if they are rubbish
2. Timing.... For me that becomes frightening and dancers who dance with real grace (ok balerina) are spot on with timing.
3. Slow tunes are harder to dance reasonably to (for me anyway) you have to either listen to the beat (whatever that is....) or just think about trying to count (hate that aspect)and it demonstrates to all who may be watching that you really cant dance yet........
Franck mentioned somewhere about doing a workshop on music interpretation. me's sure many of us would like to learn how to pick up the beats and dance by counting the beats etc as well as knowing when to stop between the beats/music and anticipating the stop. |
Hi Michael - well, I certainly hope no-one, especially beginners, finds me scary to dance with!! I love to dance with anyone (well, anyone who's not sleazy/arrogant). No decent human being will consider dancing with a beginner as a waste of time.
I totally sympathise with people not always getting the beat/timing spot on to start with - as I was saying to Lou, I've recently started trying to do the lead in the beginners' classes and it's a nightmare trying to be aware of anything other than what move you're supposed to be doing next, which hand to catch with, etc. Don't worry, the timing will come.
I fancy doing a musical interpretation workshop, as well - think you can learn so much from those. And the general beginner/intermediate workshops also are supposed to be great. Go for it - you'll love it!
