Intro to Dance, Wednesday Period 1
"So, one of the problems with teaching ballroom dance is the idea that it's old," Verity said when class started. "Dated. Something that is reserved for old people and weddings. But there are a couple of institutions that are devoted to keeping ballroom modern and updated." She grinned. "And that's the world of reality TV dance competitions."
Which was roughly when the portal opened up next to her in the dance studio. "So today, you get to watch a live series of performances to really get a feel for what it's like to dance in front an audience to modern music. While you're watching, see if you can pick out the original steps that we've gone over in class and then how the dancers build upon them, okay?"
Like the steps in the foxtrot and the three-count in even a Viennese waltz!
