| Re: Moving on up
An interesting post - and all good advice!
I'm impressed by the different dance forms you have tried, including Lindy Hop and Argentine tango in addition to MJ. As has been said, at one of the big MJ-based dance weekenders like Camber, Bognor or Southport you will see lots dancers of varying ability and styles and be able to dry classes in Lindy, tango and many others. This should help you decide where you want to concentrate - MJ, or something else. I would also suggest taking time to watch some of the more experienced dancers at one of these weekends (or in London, try Hipsters) and find a few with a style that appeals to you. This will give you ideas for moves and musicality, and how to deal with music of different styles and tempo.
But really, it sounds as though you are well on the way and it may just be that you need more experience of different partners and different MJ styles that only practice can bring. |
