Your beloved is secure in your arms and your slow dance movements are coming naturally, almost as second nature. The music is soft. The lights are low. You and your partner move as one, perfectly melding together during a romantic ballad.
The pinnacle of a slow dance arrives when you’ve internalized the steps and can fully enjoy the closeness of the moment. When you understand the basics, it’s easy to focus all your attention on your partner. For students of Shawn Trautman’s DVD instruction, this dance of love is one they’ll enjoy for the rest of their life.
• The first tenet of slow dance to remember is to relax. Slow dance offers a perfect opportunity to spend quality time with your partner and stiffly turning or dipping them will only make them scared of being dropped. Practice in private with a Shawn Trautman DVD like Couples Dancing before you set foot on a public dance floor.
• Don’t limit your locations. Slow dance is a stationary discipline. It doesn’t demand much space. Dance when the spirit moves you, whether it’s in your living room, at a wedding or after eating tiramisu at a romantic Italian restaurant.
• Build upon your basic skills. Once you’re comfortable with the slow dance, add new dimensions to the lead. Momentum turns, arches, dips and leans will come easily.
• Focus on spending time with your partner. After all, that’s what the slow dance is all about!
Now get out there, try these slow dance tips, relax and really enjoy the next slow dance with someone special!
