Once again thank you for not assuming that everyone should just know these placements. This is what makes you such a good teacher! I have taken dance lessons before (only a couple times) and when one doesn't have these basics down, it's difficult to keep up and also makes it difficult to want to continue. I can practice a lot of these at home. I don't have wood floors... I have ceramic tile, however I can still manage these exercises. 💃😁

This video is very useful and explains well on each figure with each name on the scene. For the beginner it is difficult to follow the figures on the video but you explain them well. Thank you, Eglis.

I am taller (short body, long legs) than my male partner, how can I balance the difference between us frame and movement? Thank you!

[@EgilsSmagris]

+Ballroom Beauty, thanks for question. I would suggest two guidelines. First you try to match your shoulder height (you can measure it standing side by side). This you do by bending knees in different degree. Second you check if it's possible to move together in contact with this knee bending degrees in starting position. If it's not you adjust knees and sacrifice shoulder height. Hope it helps!

Egils, what do you have to do if you live in Belarus? :P There is no coins!

[@EgilsSmagris]

What you mean? I know in Belarus there are very good dancers and teachers. :)

[@StarseedSchoolofDance]

There is no coins :D only paper money! I know that there are many fabulous dancers and teachers!

[@EgilsSmagris]

Ok, good - then instead of coins we can use bear bottle cups or even medals from comps ;)

[@StarseedSchoolofDance]

And for better balance and emotions first drink those beers! :P

[@EgilsSmagris]

+The Expert Dance yes drink beer, then do exercises with closed eyes - to rise level of difficulty 😜
