That’s so awesome and a story we’ve heard hundreds of times. Dancing will be so great for you guys and your relationship!

Hi there. Thanks for the good question. The answer is simple, but not easy. The truth is that there really is no "quick fix". It's like working out and building muscle. There are little tricks that people use like spotting etc, but there really is no substitute for doing the work. To stop getting dizzy from spinning, you'll have to spin a lot. Over and over repeatedly. You'll get dizzy but, little by little, you'll get less and less dizzy.

I absolutely love this video and I’m really going to work on turning as she does but it doesn’t look like to me that she is spinning. It looks like she is very good at turning instead.

Thanks for watching and for the input. We started adding dancing to music quite a while back. Was there something in this video you wanted to see to music?

@@countrydancex Everything actually, lol! My wife and I go dancing every Friday and want to begin our formal approach to country. There are just some moves that I know by experience may begin to get tough at full speed so I'd just like to see the sets you teach in real time to start off with just for a better idea at what each set actually looks like in real time. Like show it once with music and then go on with the instructional vid. God bless and we love ya'll for the time you take to put these tutorials together!

That's definitely important! Pretty much every step we've posted in the last few months will have it danced to music at the end. This video wasn't really necessary as we aren't teaching a particular step... just techniques to use to make the steps better. Thank you so much for watching and your input!

@@countrydancex 🙆‍♂️🤦‍♂️ Ya'll sure do!!!! Totally my mistake! I never watched the outro's, lol. I just watch the instructional parts and go, smh... What a fail😂

@@Mr40styles Ha! No worries

We’re having too much fun to quit ;-)

@@countrydancex yeeyee

Hi there. We have our favorites. Anthony wears a dance shoe brand called “International Dance Shoes” and wears a style called “Tango”. For dance boots, he wears Ultimate Dance Boots. Rose wears “Supadance” style 1426 for dance shoes and Evening Star Pro Dance Boots. You should be able to get most of those at www.danceconnection.com

Hi there. I'd have to see what you're talking about to be sure, but that sounds like partner pivots. If so, this video has a brief partner pivot in it: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/etB4mbV2s9rIeI0.html

@@countrydancex 😊 yes! That's exactly what it is. Perfect, thanks.

We do not recommend keeping rhythm with the body. The problem is that your partner is attached to your upper body… and that’s where leading/following happens

❤️❤️❤️

Love this question. We've taught hundreds of ballet dancers over the years and there are certain things that are trained into a ballet dancer that will be very helpful in partner dancing, and many things that are counter-productive. You have to understand that a ballet dancer is trained to create energy in a different way than will be optimum for partner dancers. A ballet dancer (or any other form of solo dancer) has to create energy for linear or rotational motional internally, meaning "from self". Much of what a partner dancer does to create that energy comes from the leverage/compression/counter-balancing of a partner. For example, a solo dancer is taught in many scenarios to turn from a lower position to raise into releve. That upward motion creates part of the energy for the turn. A partner dancer should avoid turning in releve as the energy to create that motion is generated through the lead/partnership and continued through the rotation of the torso. Not the feet. Not a constant 360 degree lead above the head. Ballet dancers tend to make beautiful dancers when it comes to lines and shapes... however, most struggle and are at a disadvantage when it comes to partnering. You're partly right that the follower's arm should be parallel to the ground from shoulder to elbow and 90 degrees from elbow to wrist... IF it is an outside turn. If it is an inside turn, it is parallel from shoulder to elbow and 45 degrees from elbow to wrist. To answer the counterbalancing of the halo around her head, just think of INITIATING her rotation... not leading it the whole way through. Initiate, relax and allow her to continue. Also think of the lead going AROUND her spine, not taking her arm to the other side. You simply have to begin the rotation of her torso around her spine and then allow her to finish that. Plus, her other (non connected) arm should be position around her to counter balance the weight of the lead arm.

I also find that counter balancing arm is across the Ladies chest, for 2 reasons, 1 make the counter balance, the other, makes it easier to get her hand for what ever way you want to move your partner

I can assure you of this… that’s not a concept we would ever contradict ourselves on. The problem is that your random statement doesn’t indicate what you are referring to. Please send a time stamp (the exact time in this video) of what you are referencing

@@countrydancex thanks for the reply, look at kzfaq.info/get/bejne/aLSAl7KC3tenm5c.html "how to dance two step country two step dancing for dummies" 3min 50 sec , you say for her," if her left foot is forward she can turn to the left, if her right foot is forward she can turn to the right " . This seems different to the current video I'm commenting on where when your left and her left are forward, you turn her to her right , not left. This is my confusion , seems the opposite direction of the turn .

We say the first part of that a lot as it is a core fundamental of turning (it is the opposite when traveling backwards). We do use 3 types of turns. Pivots, Chaines, and Spirals. Of course, anything that rotates around an axis such as a one foot turn is sometimes different than a turn that exchanges weight foot to foot. Our question is… where in THIS video do you feel that we did something different than that?

@@countrydancex thanks for the reply. So this video above look at 3min , the next turn , his left and her left are forward , she spins to her right. The previous video I reference , I believe you said if her left foot forward she turns to the left. Which is it , spin left or spin right So, given we have him and her left forward, her in reverse , I walk... quick quick slow slow ,.... then quick (my left) and I want to initiate the spin on the quick my left ....do I spin her to the left or right.

I “think” I see why you’re confused. The answer is in my last reply. It’s not just only turn left on the left foot and vice versa …it’s which foot is on the left side and vice versa. When facing forward, she will begin a left turn on the left foot. When facing backwards, it is just the opposite. You’ll turn left beginning around the right foot as the right foot is ON THE LEFT SIDE. We talk about that in several videos and in my last comment. Look at it this way, when facing forward her left foot is on the inside of the floor while when facing backwards her right foot is on the inside of the floor. Physics works that way with no regard to which way our toes are pointing.

Did you just make up some words?

Hi there. We have a full staff of excellent instructors who are personally trained by us and teach the same curriculum. Their rates are $60-120 for zoom private lessons.

What part of the video are you talking about?

@@countrydancex the part where he talks about spinning her

Hello again. I'd be happy to try to answer your question... but this is a 21 and a half minute video about spinning. At what time in the video?

Like that

Yes. Anthony is a long time Scientologist

Country Dance X interesting! Well I subscribed to you guys last night. I love your videos!❤️

Awesome! Well, welcome. We're so happy to have ya :-)
