Five Tips for Dance Beginners
Want to get started in dance? Here are five beginner tips to help you get under way.
①There are various dances in the world. You may find it hard to decide which one to learn. Why not try several dance styles? Anyway, it can be boring to practice one style all the time. Besides, you could attend many events when you could dance anything from break dance to jazz dance.
②People dance because they are inspired by a beat. To be a good dancer, you need to feel the beat and express that feeling with your body. Get your hands on some music related to your dance style. Listen to it at every opportunity.
③Beginner dancers always stare at their feet when learning a new dance. That is a big mistake. It is natural to want to do this, but should be avoided. In fact, dancing is about feeling, not seeing. Instead of staring at your feet, feel and remember the movements of the dance. If you're dancing with a partner, pay attention to your partner and feel the moves.
④Try dancing with different people, especially when you are just starting to learn the dance. Their differing interpretations of the music will give you a new way to approach that dance. Of course, you may end up with a partner far more skilled than you. It doesn't matter. You can still practice as a conscientious (认真的) follower.
⑤Remember, dancing is meant to be fun, not something to get worked up about. Dancing should help lower your blood pressure, not raise it, so don't stress. No matter how many or how few dance moves you have, you can usually have an enjoyable dance.
