This week - The Spring Action
For beginners, the crucial thing to master is the SPRING. This is the basic link move of the dance that joins moves together. The man's arm and his partner's arm should be flexed (not straight - but bent slightly at the elbow). There should be a springy, soft tension in the muscles of the arms. It is this springy tension that gives energy and momentum to the dance.
If your arms are not flexed but are stretched to full extension - two things will happen. First, you will be too far away from each other and have to travel twice the distance - which is exhausting. Second, you will lose your hand-hold as soon as there is the slightest extra pull outwards from either of you.
How flexed should the arms be when doing a 'Spring'? Well that depends upon the speed of the music. The faster the music - the closer and 'tighter' you will need to be to your partner - otherwise you will not cover enough ground to keep up with the tempo.
