@Baddreamer27 We have all sorts of uncoordinated people in my class. So what. Plus, you will get more coordinated the more you do it, and different teachers do different stuff. I am very coordinated, but have muscle trouble, and have to modify all of the time. I frequently am not doing what the majority of the class is.
The tips are: most dance, especially latin moves must be done on your toes (well technically it is half toe) flat foot means you can’t move. Get the feet first, and don’t worry about the arms until later, or vice a versa, depending on the move. Almost everything is done in an eight count except cha cha. So, the teacher is going to change direction after 4 or 8, it will help you predict and anticipate what the teacher will do. The instructor should be using arm and hand signals to tell you what is coming up, including 4 or 2 fingers in the air letting you know just 4 more or 2 more of what you are currently doing for instance, or it might mean go to 2, if you had been doing single counts. I have noticed that new people copy the teacher by putting their hand in the air, instead of realizing the teavher is giving direction. One last thing. If you are tall, your step might be much bigger naturally than most women, men have this problem also, so a song with a fast beat, might be harder for you to keep up, because it takes longer for you to complete your step. Keep this in mind, and shorten your step where necessary. Men need to do this to keep time with women.
Even though I had a dance background it took me 3 or 4 classes to really get into and get used to the moves, give it a chance, you will do better every time. And, some teachers get too complicated, wich is annoying.
Probably more than you ever wanted to know :)
