We have already discussed balance and posture. Two big components for ballroom dancing. Now it's time to break things apart - let's talk about isolation 😱.

You may be thinking: What are you talking about? Isn't ballroom dancing supposed to be done with two people? What do you want to isolate?

Yes. We dance with another human being. And (much to the contrary) I don't want anyone to be isolated (very much to the contrary 😇).

I want to talk about moving different body parts in different directions 👈👉! Our body is made of "different pieces," and if we learn how they work, we will be able to move better (and dance better 🤩).

Our body has learned that each "piece" has to move in certain ways to create movement. If everything goes in the same direction, our destination will probably be the floor (and not in a good way 😂).

For example - take a step. (Just a normal and simple walking step - do not try to be creative for now! 😆).

You are probably going to notice that some parts went in one direction while others parts went in other directions. If you start paying more attention, you will see how many times this isolation happens and how crucial it is to create movement.

Isolation will become even more important when we start discussing shaping effects or how to create that picture-worthy moment that every lady desires (and the guys as well - it's just too cool to not talk about, ok? 🤠).

Learn how your hips can move in certain directions, how our rib cage can be used to create fluidity in the upper body movement or how the back muscles can make you spin faster - these are just some topics ballroom dancing will help you improve with time. 😍

Pay attention to your body and how you walk. Because if you can walk you can dance! 💃🕺
