Lesson:

3. Dance is an art andValues that comes in many
forms that almost anyone can enjoy.There are so
many different styles, so many different reasons to
dance, from casual socializing to the full art of
performance.

4. Ballroom Dance Etiquette
Dance in the line of dance. Ballroom dancers move
around the floor in a counter-clockwise direction. You
should be moving in this direction most of the time.

5. When things go wrong, apologize.
If you bump into someone, or step on someone’s
foot, tell them you’re sorry. Don’t just ignore them.

6. Conversation should be off the dance
floor. If you’d like to talk, do it off the
dance floor.

7. Personal hygiene. Make sure you don’t have
bad body odor or bad breath. Very important
ballroom dance etiquette.

8. Dance at your partner’s ability. If you are an
experienced ballroom dance leader dancing with a
beginner follower, don’t expect her to do advanced
moves. Build the dance. Start with easy
stuff. Once you see that she’s with the timing and
following easy patters, try advancing to more
difficult ones.

10. AttireOne of the most glamorous aspects of dancesport is that
we get to wear these amazing dresses at competitions.
Every single one of us wants to grab the attention and look
the best we can for ourselves, for the audience, for our
partner, and for the judges.

11. shoes
The right ballroom shoes make all the
difference in one’s comfort, stamina, and ability
to execute tricky dance moves.
Dance shoes must withstand a tremendous
amount of wear and tear without breaking or
failing in any way. All dance shoes have a suede
bottom to allow for a certain amount of sliding
and spinning, while still gripping the floor and
allow for powerful movement.

13. WARM – UP EXERCISE
INJURY PREVENTION

14. Walking Knee to Chest
This dynamic stretch is a great way to slowly get your body moving
while stretching main muscle groups. It can be done walking as seen
in the video or standing in place. It is also a great balance exercise!

15. Lunges
Stand with one leg straight in front of you and one
straight behind, then slowly bend the back leg down into
a lunge position. Once there, slowly straighten the back
leg out back to the starting position. Key points to
remember: keep the front knee in line with the toes and
try to lower your hips in the middle of your legs. Don’t
let the front knee bend in front of the toes as this can
cause knee pain. Your legs will be more than ready to
Tango after this exercise!

16. Forward Bend
Stand with feet together and starting with the top of the
head, slowly roll down through the spine until your
hands reach the floor. Reverse this motion by rolling
back up to standing-your head should be the last thing
up! If you find this too difficult, keep the knees bent or
place your hands on a higher surface to lighten the
stretch.

17. Foot Rotation
Stand properly and
align your left foot
at 90-degree angle.
And slowly start
rotating your left
foot from the ankle
clockwise and move
backward with the
clockwise which will
be one set.
