      Mama! this is whats wrong with you MUSIC is ABOUT rythym . . you have a bit . . RYTHYM is a SOUL thing . . let go of what you think anyoone is thinking abou you and let the musiic dictate yor actions, rythym is spiritual, when you are teaching these simple moves as a shool lesson takes away from the freedom of DANCE . dance IS freedom! European dance styles are NOT naturally rythmic despite much of our bodys sytems exist on a rythym, heart and respitory, deven sleep patterns are naturally on a rythym, that telss meyour minds are preocupied with an unatural source of overly preocupation with self, that cnnot let free what our bosies do naturally, . . there was an american song i heard as a kid that said LET THE MUSIC TAKE CONTROL the beat goes round and round and up and down . . dont be so controlled, LET THE MUSIC AND THE BEAT DIRECT YOU! . Dance is SPIRITUAL, inate and its own language, let DANCE teach you its language! If more people danced the world would be amuch better place. Dance is LOVE!!!

      52 here and the same. Not sure how I feel about the title of this video that makes it seem like a 40 y/o or 50 year old dont know how to move anymore just because we are no longer 20. I personally feel its a little judgemental. Everyone I know my age still knows how to dance. I mean, its not like we're sitting in rocking chairs at 40 and 50 or that somehow after your 39th birthday you suddenly are an embarassment? What the actual f***?

    I love this video. I experienced a very traumatic event when I was in the 9th grade😂went to a dance at the high school gymnasium. A boy asked me to dance. I went on the floor and was enjoying myself but was soon encircled by a group of girls that always bullied me. They were mimicking my dancing and looking ridiculous. I was humiliated and to this day have never enjoyed dancing again. I am now 65. Thank you for giving me confidence to possibly try again❤️

      I am sorry you had to go through that.

I'm glad this video gave you more confidence, and I hope you enjoy dancing again even if it's just around the living room.

    I'm 58 and just started dancing a few months ago. I've never liked being the center of attention, so I've always just sat out or if I did participate I'd just weave and bob. This all changed several months ago when my husband, who's a dancing machine and I, along with a group of friends and family went to a local music concert. I don't know what was different about that evening, but I took a deep breath, put my arms in the air and let my body feel the music. My husband was flabbergasted, our family and friends were so happily surprised and I felt amazingly free! It was a big life moment, which I never anticipated, but for which I'm so grateful. I am now side by side with my husband and friends enjoying each beat to its fullest. We're never too old to grow, dance and throw caution to the wind! 😉

      What's funny is when most people try to teach dancing, they say "listen to the beat and move to it", which is the obvious part - what's difficult is how to move. It's like if someone wanted to write a novel and you told them "start at the top of the page and put the words from left to right". :D

Your movement tips help me when it gets too crowed on the dance floor or the venue doesn’t have a large enough dance space. The 40 something usually are dancing with a drink in their hand, some careless to others space or are group dancing, some free hippie dancing (popular here in Northern California).

Something I often miss and don't see in dance instruction videos is tips for overweight people. It might sound silly and a bit specialised but since overweight people often feel even more attention to how they appear in front of others AND since it's easy to look more embarrassing on a dance floor being overweight I would love-love to hear and see examples of what makes overweight (women) look better on a dance floor. Just an idea for a topic 🫶☺

  • @sarahmiles8131
    @sarahmiles8131 3 місяці тому +1

    Some good tips on technique. But the first thing to learn with dancing is rhythm, feel the music first. And engaging your core, shoulders back and feel the balls of your feet on the floor, itll ground you and and will make movement alot easier. Best way to practice posture in modern dancing is to practice plie. Then build movement from there with your rhythm in dance.
