Ever wished to embrace a more active, healthier lifestyle and achieve your fitness goals without enduring the monotony of a gym? Dance is as a superbly enjoyable alternative to fulfill these aspirations, and the best part—it's surprisingly easy to get started! We often encounter hesitations like "I'm too old for that" or "It's too challenging for me" when it comes to dancing. What if we told you that the most daunting aspect of dance is simply taking that initial step? Once you do, there's no looking back—unless, of course, it's part of the choreography! To make your dance journey even smoother, we've curated a list of the top 5 easiest dances for beginners. 

 

HIP HOP

A major part of dancing is allowing your body to move freely to the music, and Hip Hop gives you the confidence to do so.  Hip Hop focuses on ways to groove to the music while allowing your own unique style to shine through.  You also get to dance to popular music that you recognize, which adds to the class enjoyment.  The history behind Hip Hop is rich and learning about it will help improve one’s knowledge of the dance style and culture. A beginner dancer will feel a boost of confidence just after the first class.

 

BACHATA

 

Bachata is a Latin dance style that originates from the Dominican Republic. Although it’s danced with a partner, it’s great for beginners because the music is slower paced, the rhythm is repetitive, and the basic dance step is simple to learn.  You could be dancing to a full song just after your first class and this is an accomplishment to celebrate and feel good about!

 

MODERN

Modern dance is a genre that encompasses many different techniques that are credited to specific choreographers who pioneered new and unique ways of moving.  A beginner dancer will learn balance, creative thinking skills and how to incorporate breath into movement. It can be taught in a way that is gentle on the body which is great for dancers of any age.

 

SALSA

Salsa is one of the world’s most common Latin dance styles. Depending on the region, there are many different variations and styles that define Salsa dance. It’s great for beginners because it allows for creativity and personal style, all while acting as a universal language. You can find yourself enjoying a Salsa dance in any part of the world! >>SIGN UP
