The main thing, remember some secrets that will help you with the first dance.

1. Never forget about your partner. It is important for men to remain self-confident, to be leading in the dance and not to show others their excitement and tension. Women in a slow waltz are followers. Ladies can be a little more relaxed than gentlemen, flexible and free. Repeat the movements for the man and do not take the initiative in their own hands, if the situation does not require it.
2. A very important role is played by the initial positions in the dance. The distance between persons should be about 30 cm, if it is a waltz. In tango, for example, it can be much smaller. One of the partners is slightly to the left. This is necessary so that the feet of the dancers do not interfere with each other. The right hand of the man lies on the left shoulder of the lady, the left one - holds the palm of the partner, slightly bending at the elbow. The woman's left palm rests on the partner's shoulder.
3. Slow dance means smooth movements with jiggles, turns and steps. The secret for non-professional dancers: if you doubt the correctness of your actions, just listen to music and have fun. Steps back and forth and movements in a circle will be enough for your first waltz.
