Timing

I'm sure you've heard this over a million times, but it is so important I feel like reiterating it.

Timing.  It is the most important part of any style of dancing.  If you are off time, you are completely missing the point of dancing.  When you dance you are trying to flow with the music, and when you dance off time, you are obviously not flowing with the music.

If you can't dance on time, then it should be what you are working on.  Don't worry about anything until you have the timing down almost completely!

I suppose this is pretty generic ballroom information, and you've probably heard it a million times, but it is also the most important piece of information anyone can provide!
