Ennek a szövegnek a Magyar nyelvű fordítása igen jó hatással lenne a hazai

No. 1 - How to get started

Someone presented helpful hints to learning dancers. Let me clarify and amplify
 
the term "learning dancers", a little, so that it is better understood for the

purpose of this suggestion #1. I have been dancing quite a long time and I can 
not see an end in my taking lessons. (I have taken thousands of hours of 
lessons interspersed with giving thousands of hours of lessons to others.) It 
is my sincere belief that an individual's learning process in ballroom dancing 
is a perpetual pursuit. It never ends. Whenever there is the opportunity to 
learn something new you should be there ready and willing to learn. That 
doesn't mean that you do not have to establish goals as you dance through life.

There is however, no final destination; only mile posts along the way to better
 
and better dancing. If you have been going in the right direction in your 
learning process you will recognize it. Your dancing improves. Try this 
suggestion if your dancing improvement is not to your liking. (Success is not a
 
destination but a journey. Apply this to your dancing and you have a formula 
for success.) Helpful hints to beginning dancers? Understand that when you 
begin to learn how to dance you will never stop learning. So do not try to 
learn it all at one time in too short a time span. It just won't happen. It is 
like fine wine. It will take some aging. You cannot rush it. Since dancing is a
 
constantly changing endeavor. New things are happening every day and if you do 
not keep up with these changes you will unfortunately not be on the leading 
edge. It is my sincere belief that aside from all the basic needs that you will
 
discover presented as prerequisites (a willing partner or partners to dance 
with, a good dance floor and music to dance to, a good ventilation system to 
keep you comfortable while you are dancing, etc etc etc). The two most 
important features that will affect your dancing progress (beginners as well 
intermediate or advanced, amateurs as well as professionals) is a good teacher 
to learn from and your willingness to get out on the dance floor regularly with
 
your partner(s) and dance at a ratio of 5 to 8 hours for every one hour of 
instruction that you have received. (Now don't start carrying this ratio to the

extreme and say if I take 5 hours of instruction I have to dance 25 to 40 hours
 
per week to fulfill Arthur's prescription). The ratio of floor time to learning

time should be at least a multiple of 5. If you are taking 3 to 4 hours of 
instruction per week you should be out there on the floor dancing l5 to 20 
hours to fulfill the formlula. If you take 10 hours of instruction (per week) 
you are taking too much instruction. The concept is that Increased "floor
time" 
can turn an average dancer into a better than average dancer. Increased floor 
time can turn an outstanding dancer into a super dancer. And among super 
dancers, all other things being equal, the couple with the most floor time will
 
probably score higher in contests.
