These are the clearest and easiest to follow online instructions I have seen so far. Your lessons are easy to follow and a great refresher during these times we can't get out!

Glad it was helpful!

You are quite right, James and Joanna, in our first study with this figure it is immediately clear to us that it will be practice, practice, and practice to get the hang of this properly. Thanks for your video and tips.

[@vivaladance]

You're very welcome. You will get it - keep working on it slowly and it will go into the body. Happy practising!

Thanks for the Tutorial Video.💞💞💞💘💘💕💕💕💕

[@margaretmeadowcroft3602]

Joanna I must say thank you very much through your teaching on this strip, I have spent quite a few times to work it out as I am not an experienced dancer but because due to your clear instructions I feel I have got it now. Next thing is to get my husband to learn his steps. I think I probably need his help for those spiral turns and I will carry on practice until it becomes smoother. Thank you again! And thank you to James too.

[@margaretmeadowcroft3602]

It’s not easy but I will give it a try , my husband is wondering how much improvement I have made. Thank you 🙏 to you both.

Hi I was wondering if you could teach us the ria bachata, It's a dance I've seen on a cruise ship and looks lovely..????

[@vivaladance]

We do dance that one but haven't taught it locally much. At some point in the future, maybe we'll have to do a video. It is very simple to pick up.

[@jopling1962]

Could I ask where you do your dance lessons, Ie do you travel to different locatoins, many thanks

[@vivaladance]

Hi Gary, We do travel around (when the world permits it!) but we are based in beautiful Bath, England.

[@jopling1962]

@@vivaladance So do you do any cruise ships, many have teachers on so show dances etc.

[@jopling1962]

Cruise ships like Cunard, Fred Olsen and Holland and America etc they give a free holiday while you teach on see days for and hour a day, you would love itand you are very good.

[@margaretmeadowcroft3602]

Me too when the virus is over . I want lessons with them too ! There is much more to better ourselves in social dancing

[@vivaladance]

Hi Gary, We did work for the cruise ships for a little while which was very positive for us and we had so much fun with the passengers in the classes, dances and balls. We were asked to do increasing numbers but in the end couldn't give up the time to be at sea when we were so busy in the UK already so we put our teaching here first.
