How to dance promenade with a beautiful shape | Ballroom Dance Tutorials | Episode 2

Welcome to our second Ballroom Dance Tutorial!

In our last video we discussed how to set up and take hold with your dance partner. In that video we looked only at the first and most common position, closed position.

We thought that the next logical place for us to explore is promenade position, being the second most common position.

We have outlined the common mistakes we see beginners making when trying to dance their promenade. Those mistakes are:

1. Losing the relationship of upper body to your partner through rotation (excessive rotation).
2. Distortion of the shoulder lines through shoulder popping.
3. "Over-leading" the lady to promenade, as seen through the man's left arm disconnecting from the body and moving forwards out of position.
4. Lady's head being too upright and anticipating the promenade direction of movement.
5. Losing the beautiful promenade shape when moving out in promenade position due to a lack of space for the legs to track.

We hope you've enjoyed watching this second episode of Ballroom Dance Tutorials on promenade position – our free online tutorial series. Please feel free to like this video, subscribe to our channel and most importantly share with your dancing friends to help keep dancing alive.
