Footwork – How we place our feet and stay balanced. Timing – Maintaining the tempo and expressing physically what we hear in the music. Leading/Following – Connecting and communicating each movement to our partner. Styling – The positions of our head, arms, legs and body, which improve the look and feel of our dancing.
