No Matter What Shape (your stomach is in) is a song with a slower rock beat. It's good for triple-step dancing, which doesn't work so well with a fast pace.

Relax And Shine

Posted by: Gareth   on:  00/00/0000   Category: advice-tips

The single most common mistake made by novice Rock n Roll dancers is being too tense when they dance. This results in stiffness and rigidity as opposed to flexibility. When we dance, we move our bodies in unusual ways. To do this effectively, especially in time to music, we must be flexible. That means we must ease up. Relax and shine.

Turkish Towel Your Partner

Is "You Lead" a fair call?

Posted by: Gareth   on:  24/10/2013   Category: general

What we are concerned with here is the classic and very common cry of a man during dancing of "You led!" (How dare you?)

I am convinced that there's more to this than meets the eye!

Is Dancing Rock n Roll Heaven Or Hell?

Posted by: Gareth   on:  00/00/0000   Category: general

Winston Churchill wrote that after he died and arrived in Heaven he would like to spend a good deal of his first million years painting. I'm no artist, except with the BS perhaps, so after I die I think I would like to spend a good deal of my first million years dancing Rock 'n' Roll. But just what will Rock 'n' Roll be like in Heaven? Perfect, of course.
