...Look out girls, I always try to follow this sequence on the floor till one of us goofs up
Missed this the first time.

You don't *really* do this lot in the same sequence all the time, do you, to every track???

If you do, then stop it

Freestyle is not about memorising a 26 move routine. It's about dancing with your partner, and choosing moves in real time that suit her and the music. Learn to vary them and change their timing to suit the phrases and accents in the music.

No disrespect (and I sure as heck didn't know 26 moves after 7 months), but one of the things that happens when progressing beyond beginner level, is being able to dance without memorising a routine.

A 26-move routine in freestyle isn't the mark of an intermediate - it's the mark of a clever beginner. Or someone practising a showcase...
