I just finished my fourth lesson/week. I joined every practice until now and learned a lot. I still can't navigate well. I still struggle with bumping into things, into people or straight up having to stop because I'm cornered. The teacher taught me to swing back and forth when I'm cornered until I find and opening today, it hasn't become an instinct yet though.

When does avoiding collision and smoothly dancing get easier? How long did it take for you to get smooth enough to not constantly stop and readjust position as a beginner?
