I had a lot of fun doing this. There is a longer video where I dance on more music on youtube.

I've been wanting to find a new physical hobby to get into, and dancing seems interesting. What would you recommend for someone with no previous experience?

I’ve never seen anything like this

Hello! I am a german speaker from the USA who is interested learning from people who professionally participate in Polka and Waltz dances. I'm in a volunteer dance group in the middle of the USA and I am especially interested in hearing the perspective of people from Germany or Poland. I have a Lederhosen costume that I am required to wear every Oktoberfest. Please reach out to me if you know anyone!

Is it just me or does anyone else find this holding the crotch and dancing an absolutely disgusting, distasteful and unpleasant dance step….??

It’s the first time in 13 years since I last learned how to dance. I’m 34 and today I had my first heel dance one on one class with my teacher. It was intense but it was fun and I felt very refreshed afterwards.

On my way home I started feeling emotional and as soon as I got home, I balled my eyes out like a baby. It felt like an emotional release, as if I was letting go of stress and emotions that I think might been building up inside. I really enjoyed my class, I like the teacher and i’m excited to learn more. But for some reason I feel very emotional afterwards. Is this normal? Never had this happen to me before.

I only have a little experience in ballet so my way of upright posture might be incorrect.

When doing isolations in jazz, I'm unsure about how much tension I should have. If I try to lengthen the spine to the max as I do in ballet, the isolations are controlled but tense and there's not much range. If I relax too much, I can have a very smooth isolation with good range, but I lose my alignment.

Is posture in ballet the same as in jazz? Or should I be relaxed while keeping alignment?

Drum n Bass dance X-Outing

I never danced growing up, and it does not come naturally to me at all. I used to joke that if I didn’t know what dancing was, it never would have even occurred to me.

However, I’ve been with my boyfriend for around 7 months now, and dancing is really important to him. I never minded going to clubs, because I was content to just move very minimally and hang out and drink. But my boyfriend is there to DANCE. He’s not amazing, but he doesn’t give a shit what people think, and it’s clear that he’s in his body and is having so much fun.

Seeing him have so much fun honestly makes me feel really, really insecure. I’m incredibly stiff and anxious, and it also makes me really sad that it’s so hard for me to let go and have fun. It’s gotten to the point where even imagining myself dancing has made me cry. Dancing is also a way that my boyfriend wants to connect with me, and it hurts for me to not be able to give him that.

All this to say, has anyone been in this situation and gotten over their fear? Or better yet, actually learned to enjoy dancing? I’d love to hear ideas.

Also, obligatory yes I’m in therapy and clearly have some anxiety/inhibitions.

Hey everyone so my sister is getting married and she wants her first dance song to be "home is you by jon wiilde" its a great song problem is I have to help her finger out how to dance to it because her choreographer bailed. Id love any ideas or anything really.

Just getting started with jazz funk classes and absolutely love them. But I’m wondering is it better to spend more time practicing one routine each week so all the moves I learn are done well (creating a strong foundation), or is it better to focus on learning different routines so my dance “move pool” increases and then I can improve technique down the line?

I know a mixture of both is of course important, but just wondered which you would prioritize more

I go around my house and dance sometimes, and I be dancing like a starfish out of water.

🔥🔥🔥 Incredibly talented

I have no problem spotting in things like chaines or pique turns, but for some reason I really struggle with it in pirouettes.

Is there a meaningful difference worth knowing about? Anyone have an aha moment where it clicked? An analogy?

I think it's because I'm trying to do either a perfect clean single turn or working on making my doubles consistent (some days they're spot on, some days it's like I've never turned before), but when I consciously focus on spotting it's like the speed of my head is messing with the speed of my body. The rhythm of it feels so different than a traveling turn.

For context, I'm a woman in my 40s and picked up dance class (jazz) again recently after dancing pretty regularly from childhood through college. I'm in good shape physically, minus making myself motion sick these days when I turn without spotting lol

Something about this song. How would you dance to it? I just go with the flow.
