Question:

Ballroom dancing?

I always thought it would be fun to take ballroom dancing classes with my wife, but I don't have any dancing experience at all. Should I start off with something simpler first? If so, what?


Best Answer - Chosen by Asker: Choose which type of ballroom dances that you like to learn. Start one at a time. If you like to learn Salsa, Cha-cha-cha, Merengue and Bachata, do not take all the classes at the same time. For Latin ballroom dances, start first attending beginner's lessons. If you have no experience dancing these type of dances, make sure that the class holds workshops on the rhythm and timing on these dances. In my class, I hold separate workshops for super beginners and I never encourage them to start partner dancing on their first session. For the first four sessions, my classes do the "Suelta" or a line solo dancing. The goal is to make each student familiarise with the basic steps and some important steps in the dance with music.
