Hi, i am having some problem with Jive.

I am just not able to keep up with the speed in jive. When I dance to the music of jive, my counting becomes fast but my footwork is not able to keep up with the pace.

I am just talking about the 6 count basic step (I think it is also called as chasse and rock). When I start dancing with the fast counts (1-2-3-a-4-5-a-6), it looks as if I am jumping and running and not dancing.

The worst part is that i start panting after a small routine and it is all wrong !!!

How to I remedy this? Plz help.

stay on the balls of your feet,make small chasses and use the large muscles of your legs keeping one knee flexed and the other straight.Repetition is the mother of skill,start with slower music and build up speed
