Shall we dance?

If you want to prove your partner, invite him for a dance. There are several simple guidelines, which help to draw a conclusion, if he is good, if he suits you personally.

Each partner plays his\her own role. The male part is leading, dominant. Right one will whirl you, carefully directing and choosing trajectory of movement. With able partner you will feel yourself freely and light-heartedly, even if you have not danced before. He will uphold you, when it is needed, never let you fall down or loose equilibrium. He will be able to step aside for some moments, for let you express yourself, to show your own beauty and art.

Pay attention to his manners, how much he is a gentleman, if his hands put in the suitable places. Does he watch to your eyes directly or look around, hiding something?
In case his technique is better then yours, he will not let you feel yourself clumsy.
Even though his technique is poor, you will not observe it, because of his confidence, peace of mind and readiness to study, move opposite and ability be taught.

The main line of the women’s part is compliance, amenability. The good female partner must completely trust to her mate. The only one decision, which woman has to make by herself is whom to choose for a dance. Since she agreed to dance with somebody, she must let him make all other decisions.
To be soft, flexible, relax, facile is enough to be considered as a good dancer. But if you are able to move in unison, to guess a wish of your partner and able to perform it, you can be accepted is ideal, perfect dancer.
Manipulating, trying to lead woman makes whole pair look anesthetically. Male in that case looks stupidly and weakly.

There are also some common criteria for both sides. It is patience, ability to forgive mistakes, ability to accept your own mistakes. If you step on your partners foot and make a pain, beg a pardon immediately and try not to do it again. When your foot was stepped by, forgive, and try to treat it with kind friendly humor. Good pair doesn’t stop their dance because of the trifling offences.

Exceptionally perfect technique is result of experience, long practice with numerous partners. Inborn talent to feel person, to determine optimal rhythm and style happens rarely. If you are not jealous and do not afraid, that master will not stop, but will continue to enlarge his experience further, relax and get satisfaction.

And finally, if you think that dancing in pair in not the best idea and you have neither ability or talent to perform it, if you do not trust to experienced dancers and do not forgive mistakes to inexperienced, then dance a Solo, my favorite kind of dance at all times.
