from a recent issue of Dance Notes.
Coach's Corner with Espen Salberg
Never lose track of what style of dancing you're doing. Where it comes from. And there is certain music chosen to do these kinds of dances. It all fits together, but especially in Latin American there is a rhythmical percussion side to the music underneath that has detailed differences that go with the different kind of actions that you're supposed to use when partnering. Don't lose track of these for the sake of over performing. If you're able to let the rhythm and partnering become the fundamental things, that then makes your personality become the performance. Then I think you're in business.
