Looking for a New Hobby? Try a Dance Class
If you are an adult that is looking for a fun new hobby, you have come to the right place. Have you ever thought about trying something a little different like dancing? Learning to dance can help you to be healthier, more social, and most of all, it's fun! There are many different types of dance lessons available near you, so how do you know which one to choose? You could try a few different styles, or you could learn a little bit more about each type and then make an educated guess. Here are a few dance classes that may be available near you.
Bachata
Bachata is a fun 8-count dance that is based on 3 steps and then a touch. It is dance to mainstream Latino music and is easy to learn for many people. Many people like to learn bachata with a partner, since it is usually performed very close to your partner, and can sometimes be intimate. Some single adults enjoy learning bachata in a group as a way of getting to know people. Bachata is extremely popular in the Dominican Republic, among many other nations of Latin America.
Western Swing
Western swing is a descendant of regular jazz swing, though it is set to country music. When done well it includes fun lifts, twists, and jumps that make this style of dance extremely popular. Western or country swing (as it is sometimes called) can be challenging for beginners, though a few basic lessons can get you on your feet with the skills to enjoy your night.
Waltz
The waltz is a relatively easy and fun ballroom dance style that is performed in a four-count box step. When learning ballroom, the waltz is usually the first thing that you will learn. Many classical pieces of music can be danced to with the waltz step, which may give new meaning to some older pieces of music. The waltz is usually performed while both partners are face-to-face with the lead partner holding the follower's hand and waist, while the follower holds the leader's hand and shoulder. This allows both partners to feel the tension and keep in time with each other.
In conclusion, the style of dancing you choose to learn may depend on your personality, or maybe even the type of music you enjoy. If you get started with some dance classes and then want to try another style, switch things up. You may even enjoy learning multiple dance styles with your friends or partner. Enjoy!
