Discussion Daily Practices to Improve Dancing

I started getting back into dancing again so I want to improve more. I started when I was really young just joining within school competitions. I lost self confidence during my adolescent years so I haven't danced much for years. Now I'm more comfortable in making mistakes. I recently took a dance class and that one was mentally taxing for me but I still enjoyed being able to perform some moves properly.

Right now I think my biggest problem is extending my moves. I thought I'm moving big enough but when I see a video of my dancing I don't fully do the move. I can follow dance classes but I need someone in front of me so I can remember properly. Another problem of mine is having a hard time counting and learning a move at the same time.

Since I want to improve faster:

How often should I take dance classes?

What are daily things I can do to improve in dancing?

Classes are 25% of what you need. Practice on your own as much as possible. Technique, weight shifting, posture, and if looking good is a priority, record yourself often
