Ask your partner if they want to dance
Stand close but leave a little space at first
Keep your posture relaxed and upright
Place one hand on your partner’s upper back or shoulder
Hold your partner’s other hand gently
Move slowly to the beat of the music
Step side to side or forward and back in small motions
Match your partner’s pace
Keep your movements smooth and simple
Maintain comfortable eye contact if appropriate
Follow your partner’s lead or guide them lightly
Stay aware of your partner’s comfort and space
Turn gently if the music and space allow
Keep breathing relaxed
End by thanking your partner politely
