This path is for dancers who already use both roles and want structure, clarity, and long-term growth.
Not more information.
Better understanding.
This path is for you if:
- You already dance both roles
- You feel stuck or inconsistent
- You want clearer transitions and choices
- You want to refine how and when you use each role
What you’ll work on:
- Moving comfortably between roles
- Awareness, timing, and decision making
- Musicality and expression from both perspectives
- Adapting to different partners
- Building a personal way of dancing both roles
This path helps you organize what you already know and keep developing it.
We want to help you get started so use this page as reference for your first 4 months inside the online school!
This 4-month journey is a guide, not a rule. You can adapt it to your rhythm at any time.
First things first, we want you to start with the right mindset! We’ve been training both roles dancers for almost a decade now and the main issues are always the most common ones. Please, let’s go to the Dance Tips Series and listen, you don’t need to dance, just listen, to the episodes 2, 5, 7, 10 and 15.
Welcome to the second week! Now for this one we’re not going to ask you to take all 50 classes straight away. But we do want you to learn some important stuff and concepts. Click on the image to go to the Rolerotation Course and make sure you watch and learn the first four technique classes. These are the fundamentals for any dancer learning both roles. After that, let’s take a rolerotation class. We’re leaving this bachata one for reference but you may pick a salsa one or a kizomba one from all classes.
We need to find the gaps in your following and your leading. For that, we would like yo to take each of these classes at least two times. The right way to do all classes from now on is Taking Them Twice! So you can get the hand of learning double from each one. Once impersonating one teacher and the second one impersonating the other teacher. This is key for both roles dancers!
The next big mindset shift we want you to understand is… Styling is for all and it’s a main part of dancing! When a teacher teaches styling in class (it does not matter for whom they say it is) you need to learn it too! In this two class-program you will learn how to learn stylings and then introduce them to your partnerworks.
For this week, Felipe y Tiago already taught you how to learn with the right mindset. Important theory, balancing levels, learning all stylings. Let’s apply them all, let’s take these two workshop classes with other rolerotation teachers for this week.
For the next part, we need you to take 4 new classes. A mini recap, how the psychology works and then, probably the most important, the Rolerotation Step and how to apply it to one dance move, the Madrid step. The reason why we want to give you two weeks for this one is because…it’s not easy, and we know. The theory is! But it takes one or two socials to start feeling confident in the Madrid step with the Rolerotation Step. Let’s go!
We want you to apply everything you’ve learned until now. So we’re going to try with one role classes. The goals are simple (in theory, we know):
-Learn the move in both roles
-Learn lead’s and follow’s techniques
-Learn all the taught styling in both roles
Wow, that was a tough one! But you’re doing great! Let’s move on to the next step. We’ve been focusing so much on partnerwork technique and all the foundations of both roles, we need to dedicate some time to styling. Let’s take these two classes this week to disconnect a little bit from partnework technique. Let’s have some fun!
For this week, we want you to start expanding your repertoire so make sure you learn these two classes. Remember… as always, you need to learn it all. Either take them twice or you can learn both as you go (we know you can manage by now!)
We’ve come a long way! We’ve learned technique, theory, moves, styling, and repertoire. But… we know it’s a lot to digest and sometimes we need “to-go-moves” so we don’t get stuck thinking in socials. Let’s drill some easy moves and easy stylings so you’re never stuck!
As a both roles dancers you must know by now that you can do rolerotation in any dance style, any technique and any dance! So for this week, we know it’s much, but we want you to start understanding the differences between dances. So please, start this course, it’s okay if you only manage to take only 1 or 2 classes before next week.
We know you’ve been through a lot, but we really want to give you the mindset that fundamentals and basics are the most important thing. Please, watch episode 17 of this Dance Series, and retake these classes from the beginner course.
Next thing we want to work on is coordination. As you might have noticed by now, learning new stuff is hard. This is because we drill certain movements in our bodies and when it’s time to switch them up our body doesn’t feel natural. This is something we can fight with coordination excersices. The more you practice breaking the drill mode, the better it will always be for your dancing.
You are ready for the complete course, from begginer to advanced. It’s more than 50 classes but there’s no pressure and no time limit. Make sure you don’t skip classes, even if it’s just watching them while you eat (especially the theory ones). Once you’ve completed this course, you’ll be a great rolerotation dancer.
Congratulations! Should we move on to the next path?
