Trust and Confidence - Knowing each other over a long period of time and under challenging circumstances develops trust. As couples take on small challenges they learn more about one another’s temperaments, strengths and weaknesses. As they learn to communicate, they are able to tackle bigger goals, build confidence and reliance. HBDA members Chris and Becky Prendergast know each others’ skills well. Here they demonstrate a Side Leg Lift where Becky shifts her weight to one foot and bends her outside knee as Chris pulls her into his hip in a modified lift. Becky leans in full confidence that Chris will gracefully maintain her balance and lead her to the next step. Lifts and successful landings are common in Jazz Dancing, and in successful partnerships.
