In this video we talk about the best way to hold hands with your partner.

The two hand holds we discuss are:
1. Palm-to-palm
2. Hook hold

The main things to remember are:
1. Avoid using your thumbs
2. Keep your hands relaxed
3. Only a light tension in your finger tips

Hello dancers!
Starting today, we are pleased to present our first ever video blog!  We're calling it  "Hartford Ballroom's Tips & Techniques", or "HBTT" for short.

The videos we will post will be helpful advice on technique, etiquette, and good dance habits.

I know some of you have been asking for video tutorials, but unfortunately we're not going to do that here.  As many of you know, we don't allow people to take videos in our group classes, mainly because they can so easily be copied and re-distributed without our permission.

We do, however, feel comfortable with publicly sharing some helpful advice to enhance your dance experience.

Check our website and Facebook page regularly to see new videos, which will be posted once or twice a month.  On this site, you can find them on this blog page, or on the page labeled "HBTT Video Blog".  Each video will be part of a series ("Technical Tips", "Pet Peeves", etc.) to make them easier to find later.

Enjoy!
