What We Dance

Remember the story that goes, "You can lead a horse to water, but you can't make him drink."  Teachers can offer/teach any dance, but they can't make the student do it after the class is over.  Here are the Top Ten reasons:

  1. Just forgot the steps

  2. We already do four other dances to that same music

  3. Too shy outside of class

  4. DJ did not play the right version of the right song

  5. No support from other dancers

  6. Did not like the dance

  7. Felt it was too hard

  8. No one counts it down

  9. It's like 60 other dances

  10. No one will do it a year from now
