INPUT ARTICLE: Article: Hold your partner’s hand and start by doing your back and forth pulse and rock-step. Relax and settle into a rhythm together. Remember that you’re doing 1 pulse step and 1 rock-step each time. Count out loud so that you and your partner are on the same beat. When you move your back foot forward out of the rock-step, take a larger step forward and pull the follower’s arm slightly forward. This will show the follower that you’re going to start a spin and help them start their momentum.  Don’t start to lift your arm or spin the follower yet; simply draw them forward by their arm. As the follower, step out of the rock-step in the direction that you’re being pulled. Keep your elbow down to maintain a graceful line, lifting gently from the shoulder and raising your palm just over the follower’s head. They will spin out naturally as you raise your hand, then gently bring it back down. Raising your elbow and whole arm will make your turn look sloppy. Instead, focus on keeping your elbow bent and raising your palm to just above the follower’s head. Take one step as the follower spins, bringing your feet to a natural shoulder-width position. You should be facing your partner as they come out of the spin. This isn’t strictly necessary--you can do the turn while standing still and your partner will simply spin around fully to face you, but it looks smoother and more graceful to move with them. Now that you and your partner are facing each other again, come back together rhythmically with a quick rock-step. Transition into the side-to-side pulse to continue the dance. If you’re a beginner, you can also take a quick break after the turn. Talk to your partner and see how they felt about it and if you can do anything to improve. As the follower, once the leader lifts their arm to start the spin, draw up your free elbow and bend it across your chest. This will help to get your momentum moving in a spin.  To get into the spin as the follower, simply follow the leader’s movements. As your elbow pulls across, allow your shoulders and upper body to follow, then your hips. Turn your back knee towards your front knee and spin on 1 foot, with the other poised behind on the toe.  Mentally separate your shoulders from your hips. Each part of your body should move separately, following each other naturally. You will end the spin facing the leader and ready to keep dancing!

SUMMARY: Start with a basic back and forth and rock-step. Continue pulling the follower’s arm gently forward to start the spin. Lift your shoulder up to gently spin the follower. Cross behind the follower as they spin. Come out of the spin into a rock-step and continue the dance. Start your spin with your resting elbow and shoulder as the follower. Follow this movement with your upper body as the follower.


INPUT ARTICLE: Article: Accepting yourself often requires a mental attitude adjustment. Try to be slower to criticize yourself or see yourself as inferior to others. Focus on accepting and appreciating who you are as a unique individual. This will lead to authentic behaviors in line with your personality.  This includes accepting your  flaws. Being comfortable with yourself requires you to accept that you are not perfect, and means that you should embrace your quirks and the distinct parts of your personality. For example, it's fine if you have hobbies or interests that differ from those of your friends. Explore the things that interest you, and over time, you'll meet other people who share the same passions. Every person has valid thoughts and ideas, and is gifted and intelligent in unique ways. It is hard to act in a way that is genuine to your personality if you doubt yourself or lack confidence in yourself. People who lack self-esteem often try to act like people they perceive to be confident, or preen and act as if they're overly confident. This is a key sign of inauthenticity.  For example, people with poor self-esteem may dress in the same way that more popular people do, or listen to the same type of music as people that they think are popular. Instead of this, follow your own interests, whether or not other people share them. If you have some emotional baggage, give yourself the time to think about it and move on if possible. Talk to a therapist or a counselor if necessary. Authentic people are in touch with their moral compass and their personal set of beliefs. This includes religious beliefs, moral beliefs, and beliefs of any other kind. These beliefs should be evident in your daily behaviors. Many people unthinkingly adopt a partner's, parent's or friend's beliefs without figuring out if they are right for you.  For example, if you say that all people should be treated equally and yet show obvious disdain for certain types of people, you will not be perceived as authentic. Or, if friends are drinking alcohol or eating types of food which you believe are unethical to eat, ask them to stop or excuse yourself from the situation. Find your values by identifying what makes you happy and when you were the proudest. Figure out when you feel satisfied. There is a great deal of authenticity to be found in growing yourself and pursuing interests that fulfill you as a person. This can be done through classes, volunteering or hobbies. In contrast, inauthentic people often neglect the things that interest them in favor of pursuing whatever they believe to be popular or socially required of them.

SUMMARY: Accept yourself for who you are. Support your  self-esteem. Act on your personal beliefs and values. Put time into personal growth.
