How to improve my footwork

[cambay411]

I wouldn't rate dancing really as it's a totally different type of movement, far more random.

To practice footwork for boxing you have to rehearse the same movements over and over.

15 Minutes a day concentrating on moving can make a huge difference.

Im not sure if traditional type dance is good for footwork. But, have you tried more of hip hop type danceing? It helped my more advanced footwork. For example the UFC fighter Anderson Silva who is maybe the best boxer in MMA, has really nice, rythmatic, danceing like footwork. I have pretty nice footwork and i see boxing as kind of a dance. It is all about your rythm and of course not being predictible. Dancing in and out from your opponent. I would almost say that anyone with really nice/advanced footwork can prolly dance decent even if they dont realize that they can. Also like i say i have nice footwork and what works for some might not complement other peoples styles. And like you said in another post hitmandonny more subtle and simple footwork can be more efficiant than the flashy stuff. So one should figure out there style and do what works for them.
