To rotate or not to rotate

To rotate or not to rotate

When you take a group class at ATOMIC Ballroom you will quickly find that we rotate partners. Your instructor will say, "Thank your partner, and rotate." Dance studios rotate partners because
  • Classes are not evenly matched with leaders and followers.
  • Many students come alone and would like to meet more than one person.
  • Every partner "feels" different. Because partner dancing is based on lead and follow it's a good idea to develop a versatile connection.
  • When you go to a dance you will know many partners because you will have danced with them before during class.
Some people come to class with a partner already. However it's still a VERY good idea to rotate partners.
