I was wondering if any other posters, maybe especially those who have been teaching a long time or even operate a studio, can clarify something for me.
I have noticed in ads for various dance studios that they list "Slow Dancing" as a separate item from ballroom dancing or swing dancing. I've wondered what that might actually be. My instructor has never made any kind of differentiation between slow dancing, and say maybe, a slow waltz.
However, I have noticed that there are many slow songs that I wonder what dance would be best for it. It may have a bpm that isn't quite right for any standard ballroom dance, but I can't imagine you just stand there and hold your partner and slowly sway back and forth to tunes like that, or just sit them out.
Is there really a "slow dance" sequence of steps or a variation of something else I am not familiar with? For example, a ballad like the Beatles "This Boy" would be nice to dance to, but I can't figure out anything that works with it, or other songs like it.
Some of Secret Garden's tunes fall in this category, too. Anyone have any ideas or thoughts?
