Today, Sam and Joanna have that difficult task.<\/p>\n<p>From Sam<\/p>\n<p>If I had to choose, I\u2019d pick Viennese Waltz and Tango. I love Viennese Waltz because of the speed and the elegance. It\u2019s the dance that left me in awe whenever I saw it performed. The speed can be ridiculous, and it\u2019s fun to try and keep up while making it look as elegant as possible.<\/p>\n<p>With Tango, I love it because it challenges me. I have a recurring back injury from high school and I have to be super careful that I\u2019m doing my technique correctly or I could aggravate that old injury.<\/p>\n<p>From Joanna<\/p>\n<p>Mine changes. I do love Samba because it&#8217;s still challenging to get all the pieces moving together at the right time in the right way. It combines so many elements &#8211; The Pulse, the Pendulum, progression, rotation&#8230;<\/p>\n<p>But my GO TO is still ChaCha. I like that it&#8217;s fast but still requires finesse. I like all the latin motion, the possibilities for rhythm changes and hitting accents. Styling is key. Arm styling, a head snap, a little extra goes a long way.<\/p>\n<p>Do you want to learn how favorite dances (and many more)?
