  • Learn how to put a smile on your fiance’s face by mastering the SPIN. We will show you the 5 MOST COMMON MISTAKES and how to fix them in order to spin together with ease & confidence for your wedding dance.
    The 5 Mistakes are:
    1) The Gents doesn't know what direction to spin the Lady, and the lady doesn't know what to do.
    SOLUTION: Gents need to draw the halo above the lady's head in the direction that he wants her to turn. Lady needs to connect spine to hand and turn in the direction that the Gent is drawing the halo.
    2) Statue of Liberty: Gent's arm too straight and too high above the lady's head. Looks bad and feels awkward.
    SOLUTION: Gent's hand needs to be just above the lady's head. Both Gents and Ladies arms need to be bent. (Additional tip for ladies: don't duck!)
    3) Wrong Sized Halo: Gents draw the halo too big for a small turn and too small for a big turn, and ladies don't know what to do.
    SOLUTION: Gents should draw a small halo for a stationary turn and a large halo or sombrero for big walking turn. Ladies need to maintain that magnetic force between head & hand by connecting the spine to the hand.
    4) Needy Fingers/interlaced fingers!
    SOLUTION: Gents should image they are holding a water bottle, rather than grasping and holding onto fingers. While turning, ladies need to glide or wash the hands in the gents, spooning hands when facing the opposite direction.
    5) Mismatched Speeds: Gents spins at an inconsistent speed and ladies are thrown off.
    SOLUTION: Gents need to draw the halo in a cruise control manner so that it's easy for the lady to read. Gents should also match the speed of the music, as well as the ladies natural speed of turning. Ladies need to again connect spine to hand, so that it's easy to react to whatever speed the gents want to turn at.

    How about what to do with your free arms? My dance teacher wants us to hold them out all the time, but it feels too over the top showy.

    • @jcdanceco
      @jcdanceco  2 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      Good question! 😊 Generally there are 2 approaches to the First Dance. Some couples think of it as a 1) SHOW for the guests, while others think of it as an 2) INTIMATE MOMENT of connection between the couple that is simply WITNESSED by the guests.
      If your approach is #1, then SHOWY arms are totally appropriate. If your approach is #2, then we would suggest being more NATURAL with the arms.
      In our Natural Dance Method program, we teach dancing without steps. Rather, it is based on walking. So even if you are learning steps right now, feel the NATURAL RHYTHM of how your arms swing while you're walking, and try and apply that to your dancing. It would never be static (ie held out in one position by your side or stuck down at the side of your body) the whole time. There would be a natural flow of movement as you are going from here to there.
      Hope that helps!!! BTW: This is a great topic for a future video, so thanks for asking the question! 👍

  • @jasminnngab

    Which way is better clock wise or counter clockwise

    • @jcdanceco
      @jcdanceco  5 หลายเดือนก่อน

      Good question, but unfortunately, no good answer. People are all different, so some will prefer the clockwise turn, others prefer the counter clockwise, and still others have no preference at all. There are some tricky hand changes that need to be done for each specific turn, but once you learn the secrets behind them, both are easy to do! 😉👍

    When we are practicing the turn, I'm just not getting how to hold the hands together above the head as I am turning. It just seems awkward. Are they slightly touching each other?

    • @jcdanceco
      @jcdanceco  2 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Yes, the hands are always touching. They are sliding around each other, but not grasping. here's a link to another video we made about hands:

      EXACTLY! Dancing is a great way of elevating any social setting, especially vacationing on a cruise. Have fun dancing with your family and friends, and just be mindful when the ship starts to rock around!!!

      Hahaha! We never thought of that!!!
      Best thing to do is calmly try to untangle yourselves. Panic in any situation usually makes things a lot worse. Maybe go in for a passionate kiss to distract your guests while you fix it?
      If you're both silly people and like joking around you could just roll with it and use it as a fun, and impromptu situation.

    How do you compensate for height difference? I’m slightly shorter than my fiancé… sos…

    • @jcdanceco
      @jcdanceco  3 ปีที่แล้ว +3

      Great question Jack! 👍 If you can reach just above your fiance's head, then it should be do-able. Often the girl will duck when the ELBOW is in the way. Make sure both of your elbows are turned outward to create space for her to walk into when she's doing a turn. If you go back and watch Solution #2 Elbows bent, no ducking, you can pause and see how the elbows are positioned to have a clear space. You can also notice that Joel's hand is just slightly above Clara's head, not too high at all... so as long as you can reach above her head, it should work nicely! Hope that helps!!! If you have anymore questions, let us know.

    U use your left hand to spin her. Can u also use your right hand to spin her?

    • @jcdanceco
      @jcdanceco  ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Sure, you can use your right hand to spin if you need to. Sometimes we do that with shoulder injuries or with people who want to switch hands for whatever reason. 👍 As long as you practice it a bit and get comfortable with communicating through that hand, then you'll be fine.
      Normally, it's a smoother transition with the left, just because that's the one that will be holding hands in the regular dance hold, rather than the one on the back... but that being said, it's totally do-able either way!
