HOW TO BECOME A GOOD DANCER: LIBRERO BEGINNER VIDEO SERIES
There is no better way to add fun, romance and excitement to your life than dancing. It is a delightful hobby for couples to share, and a fast, safe way for singles to meet potential friends and partners.
The "Become a Good Dancer Video Series" is based on a system of teaching that is Progressive and Interrelated - patterns continue to build on the previous ones and most of them can be transferred from one dance to another. This will allow you to learn steps quickly and easily. You will also find, that when you learn a few basic steps, you will be able to use them to dance a lot of different rhythms.
You can improve your dancing in one evening - even if you've never danced before and perhaps thought you couldn't.
Get Quick & Handy Cue Cards...
You will find that learning to dance through these videos along with having the perfect music for practice, will make the process fun, easy and convenient.
The hardest thing you will encounter, (for men in particular), is not the learning itself, but remembering the steps when you are on the dance floor.
Again the videos have made it easy for you.
To jump-start your memory, they have put together a set of handy cue-cards to go along with the courses. They fit right in your shirt pocket and will give you a quick-reminder of the steps, rhythm and character of each dance.

Rob Kraemer: "I always wanted to dance but I didn't think I could. Dancing doesn't come naturally to me, but using the system, it has really been easy. Now instead of dreading going out on the dance floor, I really look forward to it. I am confident going out there - which I never was before."

Dr. Norman Castellano: "What we like most about the system is that there are a lot of different dances and variations, and it's very easy to learn. You never thought you could dance this well until you start watching these tapes; then all of a sudden there you are and you can?t believe what you are doing."
Myriam Castellano: "These tapes are very enjoyable to use at home, and they make wonderful gifts for your friends who admire your dancing when they see you on the dance floor."
Dick Nanula: "We think the dance series is terrific. Not only is the instruction the best we have found, but it offers the most value. They cover seven different dances on each video while others out there cover only one. Also the music CD has fourteen perfect tempo songs ? we usually feel lucky if we get one or two good songs when we buy a CD."
K. R. Hammer: "Since I started dancing with the system, I have become very popular with the ladies."

Dr. Steve Rifkin: "I felt like a klutz ? but now I feel I can actually do it. Before when we would go to a party and there was a band, it was terrible. We sat around like wallflowers. Now, thanks to the system, we feel proud to go out there and dance."
Janet Cruz: "The system of teaching takes the mystery out of dancing. You learn a step, then another one, and before you know it you're dancing through an entire song."

"FREE FOOT" and "SUPPORTING LEG" (Print this Tip so you can try this little walking exercise as you read it).
WALKING EXCERCISE 1 - FREE FOOT
Stand in a hallway or any other area where you can take several walking steps.
Stand with your weight on your right foot with your left foot free. Take your first step, concentrating on the left foot as it moves forward.
As you transfer weight, your right foot becomes the free foot. This time concentrate on the right foot as it moves forward.
Keep moving forward repeating this process of walking and concentrating on the free leg.
What did you notice - It felt normal didn?t it?
Well that is generally the way people walk; concentrating on the free foot as they move from one leg to the other.
WALKING EXCERCISE 2 - SUPPORTING LEG
Now we want you to try the same walking exercise with a little spring.
Stand again with your weight on the right foot with your left foot free. To start the walk, compress your right leg a little by pressing downwards with your body, (allow the knee to flex some), then spring forward off of your right foot. Concentrate on your right leg until the weight is transferred to the other leg.
Repeat the same process on the left leg. Compress the left leg and spring forward from the left foot, concentrating on the left leg until the weight is transferred.
Keep moving forward repeating this process of walking and concentrating on the supporting leg.
What did you notice ? it felt more powerful didn?t it? With a little practice you will discover two major things. Your walk becomes stronger and you are able to arrive on the other leg in complete balance and control ready for the next move.
For better dancing, pay more attention to your source of power and balance - the supporting leg.
The hardest thing about dancing is maintaining the rhythm and beat throughout the song. Is there any CDS with music on them that actually audibly counts the beats for you while the music is playing instead of words?
Quote: The hardest thing about dancing is maintaining the rhythm and beat throughout the song. Is there any CDS with music on them that actually audibly counts the beats for you while the music is playing instead of words?
Oddly enough, I've yet to hear of any even though it seems like it would make a lot of sense. It might be possible to create your own by re-recording with a voiceover - while at first there are songs many beginner's simply cannot make sense of, what usually happens is that the pressure and excitement of dancing - particularly in competition - distracts from an otherwise sound ability to count through something sitting down.
One thing that has been helpfull is formation-format group classes, where the teachers will often count the rhythm of the steps you are doing. This can help set an impression of what parts of something like a quickstep should really feel fairly slow and relaxed, vs the few spots where it actually will feel like flying.
It's worth point out that dances like quickstep and ECS/ballroom with many 6-count figures may benefit more from having a figure-oriented count than from having a measure-oriented one (ie, SQQS or step-a-step, step-as-step, rock-step vs 1234) - as in fact one of the common problems is distorting the timing to try to force fit it to measures, such that quickstep becomes SQ&Q (4 beats) instead of SQQS (6 beats).
