How Can I Be A Better Social Dancer?

Let me start with a quote from Fred Astaire:

“Some people seem to feel that good dancers are born. All the good dancers I’ve known have been taught or trained.”

I use a term called “learning by osmosis”. What this means is you do anything long enough, you will become better. Some teachers (and studios) know this and simply look after you, make sure you have fun, and know that over (a long) time. Dancing and comfort will be obtained.

The trouble with “osmosis learning” is the time it takes, plus you are building in bad habits, in technique, style and timing.
