Big Little Things: 5 Foot Positions

“5 Foot Positions” is the kind of tip that sounds boring at first… until you realize it’s the foundation for every single step you take in partner dancing. In this Big Little Thing, Anthony and Rose break down the five classic foot positions — not just as a ballroom rule, but as a practical tool that keeps your dancing clean, balanced, and connected. These aren’t fancy or flashy. They’re what your feet should be doing underneath every pattern, turn, and step you already know. Most people skip this stuff.
