yes jerry...
but experienced dancers do not think about the steps anymore as beginners do.

women who start dancing often rely on their feelings and it works, men are sometimes more complicated and think too much about what to do with their feet...this is what I meant. And this is why slow dances are the easiest, maybe for women and men alike. But personally I did not feel uncomfortable with quick dances in my first dance lesson, as long as the step was easy, f.e. jive.

Yes, try the rumba or slow waltz first!
