Amazingly, you can communicate every step in all social dances by following three simple rules.

Stop! Read that last sentence again.

Can that be true?

Yes, by following the Three Laws of Partnership Dancing™, you can communicate every step in every social dance.

We have tested Partnership Dancing™ on dozens of dance styles and countless pieces of complex choreography. Partnership Dancing™ works for every social dance that we know.

Easy to Understand

Partnership Dancing™ is easy to understand, even by beginners, and can be summarized on a single page of paper.

Based on What You Do Naturally

Partnership Dancing™ is based on what is natural to the human body and on how people naturally interact with others.

Any normal person can easily learn Partnership Dancing™. If you can walk, you can dance.

Partnership Dancing™ works equally well for both improvised and choreographed dances, giving you one set of principles you can use to dance ballroom, cajun contra, country western, English, folk, foxtrot, hustle, international, Israeli, Latin, round, salsa, square, swing, tango, waltz, zydeco and any other social dance.

Helps Both Teachers and Students

Partnership Dancing™ helps both dance teachers and students by presenting the fundamentals of social dancing in a simple, logical framework.

Learn the Precise Language for Dancing with a Partner

Partnership Dancing™ should be the first dance class you take so you can communicate with your partner.

You will understand the Three Laws™ of dancing with a partner that tell you:

How to move
Where to be
Where to go

You will learn what every signal means and how to give and respond to subtle signals instantly.

Get Powerful, Unique Insight into Your Dancing

You will learn unique ways of understanding your dancing that you can immediately put to practical use.

I am tall and thin, which makes stepping forward difficult in Close Embrace Argentine Tango. The woman is up against you and there is little room for your feet. I practiced countless balance exercises, but none helped.

Finally, Partnership Dancing™ revealed to me exactly what to do. To step effectively takes one minute to learn. The same technique works for every dance.

Accelerate Your Progress with the ABCDs

While other students are trying to assimilate hundreds of pointers, you will see the whole picture in a way you can easily remember by ABCD.

You will understand more of what your teachers are telling you, learn faster and take your dancing to a new level.

Get Better Each Time You Go Dancing

Practice does not make perfect. Practice makes permanence.

I heard this from a wise dance teacher who warned, that you have to be careful you are practicing skills that will make you better and are not reinforcing bad habits that will make you worse.

Many of you have invested years into the dancing that you love. As long as you have made this commitment, give yourself every opportunity to improve. Be sure you are learning the skills that will help your dancing flourish. Make sure you get better each time you go dancing.
