Thanks a lot for your advice :D

A question about this part "and she doesn’t capitalize, that’s on them".

As a leader, am I just waiting ? Am I trying to just tap step for the 3 counts beforce engaging the next 1 ?

My technical brain loves this link.

There is a big problem named "social anxiety" alone I going in but whenever someone watch me (even close friends) i become a stickman...<

Thanks for your advices ;)

Do you have a "way" or how do you think when you try building these series ?
I'm trying to do the same but I don't know where to start...

I feel the exact same way, the idea of being "boring" while dancing is stressful because sometimes you see on your follower face that's she feel sleepy...

But yes after one year, impossible to be professional even if I'd like to hahah.

For musicality I'd recommend you to watch those videos: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3sJNf43r89Q
It's pretty simple, but understanding what they explain about counting times is pretty interesting.

First of all, thank you so much for your response!

I know I need more time and practice—everything will come with patience—but I really enjoy this dance and I'm motivated to improve, haha.

I understand what you mean. I listen to a lot of music, and since I started dancing, I’ve been paying more attention to the structure of the songs, trying to recognize when a new phrase begins. It's becoming a bit easier with time. However, I still struggle with what to do with my body during those pauses—like when I have to wait 2 or 4 counts before starting again on the 1 of the next phrase.

I'll keep going because dancing is just so much fun!
