Introducing the IBM’s!

This quick video is a small informational explanation of what we are working on as dancers when we learn about our IBM’s. These are our

Individual - just you, not your partner
Body - your body, under your control
Mechanics - yes

and they are the building blocks of movement while dancing. There are three Individual Body Mechanics we constantly work on, especially as West Coast Swing dancers, since we use them to communicate with our social dance partners.

The Priority IBM is: TIMING
The next IBM is: GROUNDING
And our final IBM is: FRAMING

Each of the following videos in this section will highlight one IBM and explore a featured skill (technique) inside of it. It going to be an awesome time, but there is one important reminder.

These are activity based videos.

When you watch them, make sure to join in and practice, 🤭 even after they are over! The repetition of these exercises will develop confidence and ease with putting it all together in future group classes and social dances. Besides it’s dancing! The whole time you practice is going to be a blast!

So no more waiting, click the next video and let’s get started!
