    That tip for standing up after a fall is so helpful!

      Thanks Amy! Hopefully it never will happen, but accidents do happen. The secret is in the legs, not the back or biceps. At least now you'll know how to elegantly get off the ground.

    You guys are so cute and fun to watch! Great tips! I'm showing these to my husband, and we have been practicing so we can dance better at our daughter's wedding. Thank you!

      Thanks for the compliments! ❤️ Glad to hear that you're practicing for your daughter's wedding. It's always nice to have the skills to dance together at a wedding or other social events, rather than being stuck on the sidelines.

    Are you planning to do a DIP for your wedding dance, but afraid of FALLING??? Let us know!!!

    A dip method I learned from a salsa class of all places, will help regardless of partner weight (ok, to an extent but the Dipper will have more success with a larger range of Partners.) Even if the Partner is fairly lightweight, it can still be a bit much to support/control the dip for the Dipper with just the arms and when things go south there isn't much you can do to recover.
    So,
    1. Dipper positions himself beside the Partner such that they are hip to hip.
    2. Dipper gracefully performs a sort of lunge if you will. Partner and Dipper keeping the connection around the hip or upper thigh. What the Dipper should feel is the majority of the Partner's weight will be supported and placed on the Dippers's hip and/or upper thigh. For a start just let the partner sit on the hip/thigh as the dipper makes the lunge and back. That is basically what is happening.
    3. The Partner might want to wrap one of her legs around the straight leg of the man for extra stability or to prevent 'sliding off' the hip/thigh.
    4. When Dipper and Partner are comfortable the partner can start leaning back. For the Dipper, this should not be any problem unless they took too deep a lunge. Most of the weight is on the hip and lunging leg, which is much stronger than arms at supporting the Lady's weight, the man doesn't have to sweat so much in the arm department as all the Dipper is supporting with the arms is only part of the Partner's upper body. It is probably more comfortable for the Partner as well as there is less pressure from the arm hold doing it this way.
    With this method you can have a bit more freedom in 'styling' the dip and making it really Hollywood. And you can get really lllooowww. (Assuming the dipper has that leg strength but you will be able to get a lot lower this way than a method where you are only supporting the Partner with the arms.)

      Great analysis of how to do the dip Robbert! Indeed, with any kind of dip, whether it be from Salsa, Swing or Ballroom, you definitely want to keep the hips close, as the centre of gravity of both the "dipper" and "dippee" will be more balanced and supported that way! Balancing the body weights rather than using the arms is always a smarter and easier way to go!!! :)
