    No problem ;)
    What really gave me a boost was the hard-shoe stuff (the type of dance that got me started taking classes)
    I knew hard-shoe dancing only from the local theatre and from TV till then and never in my life have I experienced something so beautiful and incredibly loud and powerful as 12 pairs of hardshoes hitting the floor.
    I just sat there and watched in awe...

  • @weeardguy
    @weeardguy Před 11 lety +1

    My school favours beginners to start on thick socks: it gives awareness about which part of your feet should touch the ground (glad I didn't have shoes on try-out class, balance would've been nowhere)
    Arching your toes is also important and very hard to see when you are wearing shoes.
    Best thing about taking classes:There's a room with a mirror and (important) a teacher who tells you if you're doing a good job or not. And: don't be surprised if a student gives you some encouraging words ;)

  • @karenfyke7436
    @karenfyke7436 Před 3 lety +1

    To beginners: think of step dancing as skipping. Much if Irish Step dance is a skip sequence- you can start by lifting the front kick leg about 1/4 high than shown and then follow the steps. Once you get comfortable and build muscle memory, you will naturally be able to left your legs higher. It's about muscle memory and strength that is built with practice. There are always beginner modifications if each step sequence

    @RinneEireann That was the first thing I thought too when my teacher showed this... The hardest thing to get used to for me was the fact that when practicing, after a 1-2-3, and let's say your right foot is in front, you don't continue with your left foot (as in walking) but you continue with right... I already managed to dance this in a more or less circle... and that afer 1 lesson (and a try-out lesson which was more like watching) still beginning, but I'm not thinking about bailing out...

    @weeardguy Před 11 lety

    Do not be 'intimidated' by how high he jumps or he kicks his legs up in the air, or his cutout! Especially improving the cutout takes TIME... a lot of time.
    Kicking your legs straight high up into the air takes a lot of strength from your leg- and core-muscles (more or less the muscles around your stomach)
    I'm now practicing the Beginners reel for almost a year now (I started taking classes) and I still have to improve so much, though I'm stretching almost every evening.
    Really you can do it to!
