As someone that works in theatre and stepped into a postion that has me doing cues on specific beats, this is a good start for me. (Was never more confused when a director told someone to fire a cue on the 3rd of the 2nd 8 😅 (basically fire on the 11th count total))

Maybe I missed it, but how do you find the 1? ( first beat in an 8 count)

[@BallroomFeed]

1 is the strongest beat in music and sometimes the easiest way is most songs will start right away with the 1 if it doesn’t fade in. So just count right away haha:) thanks for watching!

excellent video. I am a beginner bachata student. I am struggling to find the no1 in bachata dance music. Do you have any video on finding the beats and no1 in bachata music. Thank you.

[@BallroomFeed]

We don't yet but we will add it to the list! You can check out this video for help with bachata music for now: kzbin.info/www/bejne/eoilaI2emt2ngbc

I want the one note samba and can you show me how to dance and count the beat of this song

[@BallroomFeed]

We will get to samba eventually! Starting with the american styles so it might be a while :)

@@BallroomFeed Thank you in advance for that but I'm referring to that original song "One Note Samba" 'coz I love the tempo of that song and I love dancing.
