How to dance well

1.

Get inspired

Whether it's your first week of dancing or your tenth year, the key to being a good dancer is your desire to be a good dancer. Remind yourself why you think dancing is fun or cool!

This "reason" will keep you going when you feel defeated or lazy.

Get inspired by watching dance videos, chatting with dance buddies, and attending dance shows.

2.

Warming Up and Stretching

Make sure your body is ready before dancing! It's not fun to dance when your body is cold and tired.

It's much less fun to sit still with your muscles tensed. And getting seriously injured is no fun at all.

Warming up and stretching before dancing will allow you to move with greater range and control and prevent injury.

Follow this chart for quick and easy daily stretches: These stretches will help you dance better and avoid injury! It's just part of the road to becoming a good dancer. Learning music will give you a much better understanding of how to dance to music.

Dance is ultimately your body and the physical embodiment of the sound of music.

Those dancers you see that somehow become music?

They do this by first mentally understanding the sound. Read this article to learn dance musicianship: What is dance musicianship?

4. Learn the basics and groove.

What all dance styles have in common is the groove.

You should always groove! Do you shake your head while listening to music in your car? Do you go to the club and rock left and right to the beat?

It's all groove!

Of course, there are so many different grooves out there. Some have official names and tricks to learn.

Bianca Vallard teaches a lot of simple hip-hop inspired rhythms on STEEZY Studio's "Intro to Dance" program.

Practicing the groove and getting used to the way your body moves will help you dance your best in class, at a show, anywhere.

Learn to move with feeling

Executing movement the way you want has a lot of different parts.

There are the technical parts (which you'll master through learning the basics of a dance style and taking lots of classes) and the artistic parts (which you'll learn by connecting to the music and finding ways to convey the feeling of a sound).

While it's important to start your dance training by learning the more technical building blocks that you'll need to move your body in a way that looks cool, confident, and relaxed, the next phase of your training should be focused on becoming THAT dancer –

The person who walks onto the dance floor or stage and makes EVERYONE think: wow, they don't dance to the music. They become the music.

To do this, you'll need to learn all about texture, which is how dancers describe how sounds feel.

For example, hitting cymbals can sound shrill and abrupt.

or low-pitched sounds may sound intense and deep, like a heartbeat.

So when you hear the cymbals, you can dance sharp and fast.

When you hear the bass, you can use heavy, grounding movements.
