The Body Knows How To Do Dance Steps

Although basic dance steps are easy to do, it can take some time to do the easy dance steps without conscious thinking and efforting. As new dancers we can often over-think the process and have trouble harmonizing our actions with our thinking. We know what we want to do, but can't seem to do it.

But it is vital to realize that our body actually knows what to do. All we have to do is get out of its way and let it do what it knows.

The direction we move in has more to do with the way we commit our bodies to the movements than where we place our feet. We begin a dance step by moving our body in the direction we want to go. We must commit ourselves to this movement. Just before we move our feet, our legs and feet will accommodate this forward, backward or sideways impetus of our body.
