We have a love/hate relationship with dips too. They're fun ... when done well and at times that are appropriate that don't cause problems for the other dancers on the floor.
With the world finally opening back up I was able to work on the "No Hands" dip and use it in our studio's student performance night. Thank you!!! Your breakdown of how to do it accelerated my learning curve. You guys are awesome!!
I swear when I saw the title "Country Dance Dip" you had finally made a video about me. How refreshing to see it was about cool moves instead of my life history. Thank you for another awesome video!!
how do you get back into the direction of dance? it appears she is backing up, wrong direction, coming out of the dip. First rule keep moving down the line of dance. thanks for all the great efforts...press
I'm afraid the only "dips" I've been doing lately come in a plastic tub and is used with "chips". Now my dance wear is feeling a little tight! Anyway, my questions are: How often during a dance should a dip be used? One or more? Is there a certain point in the music when a dip is most effective? Should it be only at the end of a song? Looking forward to your input. MCDGA!
If you could refrain from sending us any photos of you in dance wear, we’d appreciate that. Thanks ;-) We’d prefer not to play dip police. I don’t think there’s an acceptable quantity of dips that should be danced. While I don’t think there’s a certain point in the music when a dip is most effective, there are times when it may fit better. The end of a song will generally be ok since traffic is stopping. That’s the thing that should be discussed... floorcraft. Being courteous and aware of other dancers is something that should always be taken into consideration. If dancing a progressive dance (such as two step), don’t stop the flow of traffic with a dip or pose unless you’re sure there’s no one behind you that would be affected. We typically use dips in situations where we’re being musically interpretive and the song has a break or something else that we are playing out. Dips/tricks for the sake of doing dips/tricks aren’t something we typically do. The problem is that most dancers aren’t experienced enough to truly manipulate the dance to the point of musicality, so they see dips and mimic them at any random time/place. Dips can be fun when done well and at appropriate times. But... learn to dance first. Dips/tricks/lines etc are add ons, not a core element of dance.
@@countrydancex Thank you for this great response. I guess basically I was overthinking the whole thing. What you said is great common sense. And don't worry about me sending such pictures! HAHA!
I was never a fan of dipping but I believe you've changed my mind, now...to find a partner like Rose!

"the best way to be safe during dips is *abstinence*" thank you for making me laugh for 5 mins straight 🤣🤣
Sometimes truth is the funniest ;-)
This video is such a Godsend for those looking to incorporate dips into our WC/CW dancing.
We're so glad you found it helpful!

Great content! May I know the song's name at 14:20?
Hey there. We license the music we use for copyright laws and so on. This one is called “I won’t waste this” by the Wildflowers.
How do you do dips and tricks with random partners at the bar? How do you tell them what your actually doing?
To be honest ... we don't. I wouldn't recommend dips/tricks with random partners.
