back to news Dance Improvement Evening
Report / Photos by Andrew

August 22nd saw another dance improvement evening at the Egham Sports Centre this time the guest coach was Mrs Susan Walker.



After the usual 20 minute warm up session the couples moved in to the main hall.

The first dance to be worked on was the Waltz, after all the couples had taken to the floor and danced their routines everyone gathered into a group for general comments and suggestions on improving the dance.



The main comment regarding improvement was to do with the size of step one being too big thus causing the body to be back weighted thereby reducing the amount of swing on step two.
The second dance tackled was Foxtrot and the main problem seemed to be musicality and interpretation of timing.
The next dance to be tackled was Tango again the couples took to the floor to dance their routines.


Once everyone had gathered in the group for comments, the main point of discussion was the top line and not leading with the right shoulder, the couples then went back on the floor to correct the positioning with some one to one hands on work from Susan



The evening finished off with some work on the Quickstep, and by this time everyone was well and truly worn out, but most people seemed to have enjoyed the evening.
