Give Your Partner Time To Reset

Most beginners are little shaky on their basic steps, their balance, and their timing so you want to account for that. Let’s say you give her a basic right turn. As soon as she finishes that turn, don’t send her into another turn right away. See how she finishes it. Does she exit with good timing? With balance? If not, give her time to reset. Do a couple basics in between moves so that she’s comfortable and ready when you initiate the next move. Another tip is to use simpler hand holds. I definitely like to avoid something like double cross hand holds because that’s only going to distract her from what you’re trying to accomplish.
