Social dance notes:
1, avoid haste. Beginning students are prone to commit the fault is only to seek the number and progress, but do not pay attention to the quality of movement and standardization, easy to learn a lot of action in a short period of time and routines, these irregularities in the action and routines is undoubtedly as "false", and after a long time of habit, to be corrected, it is very difficult. Therefore, in learning the movement, should be gradual, repeated carving.
2, avoid the "flower". When students start to learn, it is easy to fall into the misunderstanding of "how many steps" to measure the level of dance skills, and to pursue the number of steps, thinking that "the more steps the better". Such "fancy footwork" will not stand up to the observation of the judges and the appreciation of the audience in a real competition. If students can lay down solid basic skills, and then selectively learn some steps and routines according to their own characteristics, they will be able to make the best use of their strengths and avoid their weaknesses to achieve the "icing on the cake".
