“The Enjoyment of Rich Rhythm”: Felix Bambury Webbe

[Chen Lizra:] As a well established dancer, instructor and choreographer, what would you recommend to beginner dancers and experienced ones?

[Felix Bambury Webbe:]
• Understand the origin of the dance that you want to learn.
• Each dancer should interpret their dance steps within the music like an instrument in a musical group.
• Dancers should recognize the details of posture, the correct angle between partners, the interrelationship, the delicacy of maintaining the steps while listening to the rhythm of the music.
• To enjoy the dance, there is an inseparable tie between the enjoyment of the rich rhythm of the music that is man, woman and music.
