As everyone knows, our greatest selling point is to successfully teach complete beginners to perform a watchable dance in as a short time as two classes.
Yes, this is the best budget we have had so far.
Within two classes, or two hours, the Two-Left-Feet can be well-equipped to become Happy-Feet.
So, how to ensure the Two-Left-Feet dance well becomes our first priority.
If time is allowed, the best to do is to learn all proper postures and correct footwork, and the rest is a matter of practice. But the problem now is there is no time or very tight time schedule.
Therefore, we can forget about having various figures, incorporating fantastic lifts and drops. The very first and important point to note is not to put too many figures. If we have only two hours, the maximum number of figures is six!
Six seems too few, however, when you need to cram six figures and in a particular sequence, to the music and on beat, do this gracefully with some styling, and more importantly in two hours!!!! Then you can imagine how uneasy it is!!
The most useful figures I like include the Latin Box and the Basic Two Step.
These two figures can be combined with different positions, it is a very good way to kill the beats.
In additional, when I teach these figures, I can tell the beginner couples the popular saying 'lady is always right, man gets what is left'. Man starts with LF and lady does natural opposite. It is very easy to remember.
Underarm turns and Ferrekel are also my favourite, simple because lady's turn is in fact the focus of any dance! A dance performance without lady's turn can never be spectacular!
Lastly, the hints to make sure my couples can really learn the watchable dance in just two hours, is to have a dressed rehearsal.
As mentioned in previous entries, I always like to spare the last hour of the package for a final revision, ideally dressed rehearsal. I'd rather teach intensively in the first hour and make the fullest use of the rest of the time to practise.
There is no exception even the couples only purchase 2 hours!
