Ive got two left feet and my husband can hear the beat of the music. Can we really learn how to dance from videotapes?

By far, the biggest barrier will be attitude, not aptitude. A long time ago, I thought about dance ability like I thought about artistic ability: you either had it or you didn’t. Now, I don’t think about either of those abilities like that. I’ve personally watched some folks that I thought would be (I hate to say it) hopeless develop into formidable dancers. This experience has been very inspirational and it has made me completely rethink and reject the notion that natural talent is destiny. I believe that anybody who can tap their foot or clap their hands in time to the beat of the music is trainable. When I observe crowds of folks at concerts, I see that 99% of the people can successfully clap their hands, tap their feet, sing along, or play “air guitar” in time to the beat of the music. Almost every teen-aged boy has played “air guitar” or “air drums.” This leads me to believe that 99% of adults are rhythmically capable. As far as having two left feet: again, the barrier is attitude
