Learn to dance professionally (read all 2 entries…)
Chickened Out! 3 years ago

I chickened out of joining a class. I was looking forward to it but when the weeks passed by I slowly talked myself out of it. Is there any way of teaching yourself privately first? Any good ways of learning?

Stuff that chicken and roast it!

The best way to learn is in a class, with a good instructor. Even with boundless talent, there is no getting around the need for a solid foundation in the basics. In the long run, that will be one of the key ingredients in your growth and progression as as dancer, besides talent and drive, of course.

And better to get good instruction from the outset than try to do things on your own and inadvertently develop bad habits. (There will be lots of opprtunities to do that anyway!)

Think of the basics in dance like the grammar of it all. Vocabulary has limitations without proper grammar, rules and all.

I hope you will pluck (sorry, I had to say that) up the courage and go take a class. Don’t be afraid of making mistakes, that is the only way to learn.
Good luck!

Thank You

Thanks for the advice. You’re right about being limited trying to learn it all on my own. I tend to talk myself out of things though. I’ll see if there is a class I can afford to take at the moment. Once again, thank you for your help.

Let us know...

how you get on with this and good luck finding a class.

I will!

I missed out on joining the dance classes that are in town but, I will definately be keeping a look out for other classes. Thanks for the support!
