"How can I practice if I don’t have anyone to dance with at home?"

Solo practice is actually very valuable. You can practice Shine-Moves (solo footwork) in front of the mirror to improve style and balance. Practice the basic steps of music, work on body isolation (e.g. hip movements, shoulder rolls) – all of this will make you a better partner dancer too. Invest in a mirrored wall or stand in front of a large mirror (bathroom, hallway) and look at your lines. You can also use a pole on the porch or a door frame as a “partner” to practice spinning (hold lightly by the edge and practice spinning under your arm yourself). If you have an elastic/exercise band, you can attach it to something and practice the lead/pull movement with your arm as the handler would do. Creative, but it works! In addition, you can visualize – stand on the floor and feign You have a partner: Lead yourself through a character you’ve learned (if you’re a follower, try going through the follow pattern on your own). It may look strange, but it helps the brain repeat the patterns. And last but not least: make use of music and videos. All of this will make you feel more prepared the next time you dance with a real partner.
