🥂 Social Reasons to dance

Image
Events & outings: Weddings, parties, or dance socials are much more fun when you can participate. Not wanting to sit on the sidelines: Wanting to be involved instead of watching others enjoy themselves. It’s surprisingly fun: A lot of men discover that once they get past the initial awkwardness, dancing is actually a blast — especially with someone they care about. Music + Movement: Enjoying music in a physical way can be energizing and uplifting. Studies show that dance helps reduce stress, increases levels of the feel-good hormone serotonin, and helps develop new neural connections, especially in regions involved in executive function, long-term memory, and spatial recognition.

"He danced with everybody but he only had 2 steps..."

Image
He loves getting out and getting active on the dancefloor, but why isn't he interested in learning a little more variety? The two steps were basic and repetitive. Why They Might Not Want to Learn More: They Focus on Connection... They see dancing as a way to chat and smile. Complex steps require too much concentration. Pure Fun! They feel happy with what they can do. They do not need to show off or win a contest. Low Stress: Simple steps mean no fear of making mistakes. They can relax and enjoy the night. Inclusivity: A basic step works with any partner. Everyone can join in easily. At Dance Forever we teach interrelated steps so dancers can have more variety without too much concentration.

Our next dance class series leading up to a dance night out will be the East Coast Swing!

Do I need a partner to practice learning to dance with?

Image
Learning to social dance is a partner activity, but there are many reasons why singles do not need a partner! Learning to dance requires the ability to recognize the feeling of dance elements. For those learning the lead, they have to first learn where their feet go and the focus on weight change as a lead. Then they learn coordination of their arms, so they can lead turns with proper timing and how to keep their partner balanced. Then they learn shaping leads. Next they might become aware of music, or what their partner is doing. For a follower, we often hear "I can follow a strong leader" from people that cannot dance an introductory pattern themselves. That's a big ask from a leader, and limits these followers to only being able to enjoy a dance with high level, very experienced leaders. So we recommend that leaders and followers focus first NOT only on feeling the dance partnership, but learning the elements of dance so well on their own that they can focu...

Self discovery is one of the benefits of dance

Image
Self discovery is one of the benefits of dance. Students in our small group class: - discovered the feeling of moving their body disconnected from a dance partner, and with one...two totally different experiences! - That things can look one way and feel another... surprise 🎶 - Arm styling may feel awkward to start as we are often uncomfortable permitting ourselves to take up the space we need - We love the look of other people who push beyond the comfort zone, they don't appear awkward they look fantastic! - We have to be willing to feel goofy, theatrical, uninhibited.

Do you want it enough for yourself?

Image
Every day we hear people say they want to to learn to dance, but... "I have a trip coming up, so I won't be able to start." "I don't have the time right now." "I don't have the money right now." "I want a partner...to lose weight...before I'm going to start." People's goals and dreams stay stuck exactly where they are. Deep down, most people already know what they need to do. Only a small percentage decide they're finally tired of settling and take action. Those are the people who change their lives forever. At Dance Forever, we don't just help people learn, we help them transform their mindset, their confidence, their health, and their lifestyle. That's why we're rated the top studio in the area. For under $80 a week you can come in twice a week and be healthier, happier, and more active with 1:1 coaching and social activity that's welcoming, encouraging & patient. Call for details, and then come in:...

Here’s what 99% of helpful people are doing WRONG on the dancefloor...

Here’s what 99% of helpful people are doing WRONG... "Many people mistakenly believe they’re “helping” by offering unsolicited advice. It’s actually counterproductive to point out someone else’s mistakes. People can only absorb so much information at a time. Pointing out every error you perceive in your partner's dancing overloads them and makes it harder for them to dance well.Trust that your fellow dancer doing the best they can in that moment. Their best is enough. Telling others how to dance also assumes a position of superiority, presumes that your own dancing is without fault, and that you know more than they do - which is often not the case (I have stories for days on this...) People who really know what they're doing in the dance world know enough not to correct their partners." - Marsha Mitchell If you have dance etiquette questions (or crimes have been committed which you wish to report) please discuss with your instructor in studio!

You don't need a partner to start taking dance lessons and dance classes at Dance Forever!

Why take lessons and practice solo? Good technique makes dancing look effortless and feel heavenly. When we're getting started, we tend to chase after moves and we want to learn a bunch of fancy steps,. Ask any trained dancer if they prefer dancing with someone who knows lots of moves, or has great technique (even if they don't lots of steps), and they'll pick the technical dancer any day of the week. When you have a lesson the dance instructor is your partner, when you have a class we rotate so you will eet eveeryone.
