Line Dancing with Kipala
To all the newbies, a few tips to making your line dance experience fun and less stressful.
1. Welcome!!!!!
2. Move to the middle, I know, you don't want to be the center of attention but trust me, all successful line dancers begin in the middle.
3. Give yourself time, it takes 3 weeks for your mind and feet to start working together.
4. Be patient with yourself, it's new, you won't always get the whole dance the first time
5. Laugh, have fun, you are here to have fun, and exercise a wee bit!
6. Don't walk off the floor, stay up, listen to the music, dance the steps you know,
7. If you happen to turn and someone is looking at you, smile, and laugh
8. Take small steps, I exaggerate mine so you can see them
9. Don't compare yourself to anyone, we were new once,
10. when I ask are you all set ? Speak up, my back is to you,
11. Don't give up!! Your style is beautiful, you will be amazing! Just give yourself time.
