Are there any exercises where I can improve my agility and balance?

Anyone been to this festival? What's it like?

So I just want to apologize if I was a little exaggerated with some of my previous posts. I have a legitimate issue I want to solve. I'm trying to get bet better at leading the box step. I like this move a lot even though it's super basic. How do I initiate the follower that I want to do a box step? What is the signal? Also is it better to lead this in an open or closed position?

Thanks.

They just posted on their IG account. Thought on this? How does something like this happen? Is this normal in dance. Partnerships just end like that? Do they hate each other now?

What's the gist of it?

So as a beginner I keep hearing that make sure to connect with your partner. The problem for me is that is something that is very abstract and hard to put in practice. Like, you can't really practice connection on your own, can you?

Also, I hear more of this concept in Kizomba than Bachata, but over the past couple days I've seen people use that on here on this page. My instructors don't usually emphasis this. Do I have bad teachers?

What are good examples of good connection? What if the leader and follower interrupts the music differently, isn't that contrary to "connection?"

Thoughts?

To my post, I was wondering what are some pet peeves for followers? I know not all followers are the same, but this will give a beginner lead like me a general idea of what is not good leading habits.

Thank you.

It's so embarrassing and pathetic. I thought by now I'd have that cool swag and confidence. More repletion=more confidence, right? Well, apparently not.

I'm still mousey because I don't want to do crazy moves. Can anyone blame me? I don't want to injure someone here. Every follower I've danced with thinks I'm boring AF. I can just tell from their energy.

Look, If I try to fancy moves I will mess up, if I play it safe I'm just a basic leader and a bore. I'm in a lose-lose situation.

My god I'm so depressed.

I feel like I have to learn some basic Spanish, or else the elite hispanic bachata dancers are going to look down on the gringos.

There is so much movement with the entire body. You have the footwork, the hip movement, your upper body.

Then you have to prepare the movement for the lady. Like, how do you just improvise all that where it doesn't become confusing?
