Thanks for the tips! I realized my footwork's off because I'm not leading with the correct foot. I noticed I'm stepping to the right with my left first sometimes and vice versa.

I need an audio recording in the background shouting out "WATCH THE FEET!".

Good to know even pros like Mike had to be constantly reminded of the basics as well, like in this video where his coach has to tell him to bend the knees or get more square;
