Hey guys,
i havent been dancing for long and so i dont have a partner, im still individual.. the problem is that when i have to dance with a partner i get really unbalanced and forget the dance! when i can almost do it perfect when im by myself! did this happen to anyone else? It only happens with Modern and New Vogue dances.. latin is fine! and tips?

twinkltoz is right - it's vary different dancing with a partner. Practising on your own is useful for 'grooving' steps - so you know the basic movements automatically, or to develop some particular technique - hovering slightly on beat 2 in slow waltz for example - but with a partner you must move absolutely together and work to maintain good body contact (in standard dances).
When you first start to dance with a new partner, you must expect some problems like overbalancing, or mis-alignment on some turns etc. It's natural until you get to know each other's movements and 'signals' very well. THat's why competition dancers have the same partner for many years - if they're lucky, that is.

Are you a leader or a follower?

If a leader, try thinking very carefully about what a partner will do to match each thing you do - perhaps even learn her part.

If a follower, try to worry less about remembering the dance and pay more attention to what your partner is doing.

Dancing with a partner is completely different than dancing alone...they can counterbalance you or totally throw you off. You can get away with a lot of stuff by yourself that you wouldn't be able to do with a partner...so you might think that you're doing it perfectly by yourself, but you might not be turning the right amount or putting your foot in the right place, etc.
