I don't know which direction is against the grain or with the grain. If I'm first on the floor I I'll line up in either direction. I don't think I have a...
Absolutly going against the grain, but only after you have had some experience and are ready to venture out to new territory. ;-) Going against the grain has...
Denise, I'm not sure dancing against the grain is always the best way to go. Sometimes doing this can lead to a much rougher experience when not needed. To me...
Denise, Â For everyone's clarification on this list that does not know which way is against the grain and which way is with the grain - please explain how you...
We all know WCS changes with the wind, and I know that many years ago the ballroom instructors taught WCS with a coaster step. Then country instructors were...

So do we ever get any national instructors (from the NASDE circuit especially) out here, is it even a viable option without having a large scene? Would people...
I believe they do have 'famous' out of town people do workshops now and again - if that is what you mean. It does take planning. i'm sure walter can tell...
Here's a good topic for discussion: Â What makes a good instructor? Â In my opinion it takes more than just knowing how to dance. Some dancers think they...
