How to Dance a Boogie Woogie
- 1). Clap to the rhythm of boogie woogie music to familiarize yourself with the sound. The rhythm is "one, two, one-two-three, one, two, one-two-three."
- 2). Convert the clapping to stomping your feet on each beat. Begin with your right foot if you're dancing the follower's part and your left foot if you're dancing the lead's part. Alternate your feet.
- 3). Join your partner. If you are the lead, put your left hand on your partner's left waistline and hold your right hand out to the side, your palm facing upwards. If you are the follower, put your right hand on your partner's right shoulder and your left hand in his right hand.
- 4). Move your feet to the rhythm of the song as you did in Step 2. The lead can use his left hand to direct the follower to follow him around the dance floor.
