Mistake Five: Stepping on Your Partner

When you're in a romantic dance, the last thing you want to do is step on your partner. It's a classic move, but not exactly the kind of move you want to be making.

Our expert, Bob, learned this the hard way. He was trying to impress his date with a fancy waltz, but he got a little too close to her feet. Now, he's the laughing stock of his social circle.

Causes of Mistake Five

There are many reasons why you might step on your partner during a dance. Here are a few:

• 1. Inexperience: You're new to dancing, and your feet are all over the place.
• 2. Overconfidence: You've seen too many YouTube videos, and you think you're a pro.
• 3. Lack of attention: You're too busy checking your phone to notice your partner's whereabouts.

How to Avoid Mistake Five

Here are a few tips to help you avoid stepping on your partner:

1. Practice makes perfect: Don't try to learn a new dance by winging it. Take some lessons.
• 2. Pay attention: Keep your eyes on your partner, not on your phone.
• 3. Be kind to your partner: If you do step on them, apologize and laugh it off.
