SOS!!! I need to find my feet...

Me, I am an enthusiastic beginner.

A male, living in Mumbai, India, which, I think, must be a long, long way off from most of you on this site.

Besides two left feet, I am gifted with two right feet -- and I am determined to shed both those additions come what may. J

Anyway, looking for people interested in Waltz and Jive…

If you are in my part of the world, great!

If you are in my country, Wow!

If you are in my city, hey, I will stand you coffee!

And never mind if you are a long way from me. Would love to meet people I can talk dance with -- and perhaps I can bother you with all the questions I can't ask my instructress?!?!

Dear two right feet ( smile ! ),

Welcome to the discussion group. It is really a fantastic group of dancers on this
website. Be sure to check out the learning center and demonstration of the week.
I was told at the beginning of my dance life that i need to get on the dance floor 3 times per week since you need to remember and practice so much at the beginning. I was introduced to a new dance every week for the first 6 or so weeks. It gave me a good overview of the "available" dances to learn and i decided to concentrate on the american smooth dances. Just by reading some of the messages / concepts on this website, i am sure you will have a lot to ask your instructor.

Happy dancing...

Thanks (and, hey, you forgot the two *left* feet bit)!

Yeah, this is a pretty comprehensive site. Though I do wish they had videos of Jive etc -- as of now you can only see the Waltz and a few other clips.

Is there any other site where you can see more video clips?

I have tried the Foxtrot and Quick Step at beginner level. But I find the Waltz much more fun than those two. How about you?

Yeah, I try to keep my feet moving -- a bit of practise every day, at home, just to keep in touch, as my classes are unfortunately only twice a week.

Any suggestions on Waltz music? Where I can get 'em online (for some reason, don't seem to listen from this site due to some tech reasons), which albums to go for?
