Let’s talk about why learning the skill of dancing together is more valuable than perfectly rehearsing dance steps for your first dance.

Authenticity

Leading & Following well is one of the most joyful experiences when dancing with your future wife/husband. The ability to connect and communicate through movement is what makes people smile, cry, and feel happy when watching you dance on your wedding day. True partnering allows for authenticity in your dance. There is a simple elegance in knowing HOW to move together smoothly, which often does not happen when couples learn choreography. Surely you want to have a vocabulary in your dance moves, but developing the understanding of partnering basics will enhance your dance journey massively.

You are in charge

Imagine a car that is only capable of driving forward. There is no way to go back, turn or stop. Would you be nervous about getting into it? There is a great deal of freedom in knowing you can adjust your steps spontaneously and effortlessly. If you are a complete beginner in dance, you want to feel calm and entirely in control of what you do, allowing yourself room for confidence. Talk to your teacher about ways to continue your dance if you are slightly off time in the music or had a blank moment in a part of the dance routine. There is always a simple way of going back to essential steps while harmonising with your song.

Party Animal

Choreography is excellent when you want to match your dance to your song perfectly. But wouldn’t it be great to enjoy the evening of dance with your guests and be able to move to any music comfortably? One of the most important things to remember is that we always relate our dance to music, so it would be beneficial to learn how to be on time and in the rhythm regardless of the song.

Value for money

Look at paying for dance lessons as an investment in yourself. Learning choreography is a limited investment as you only preparing yourself to dance on your big day, worrying about getting the steps right in the process. Understanding the long term value of dance lessons will allow you to find a teacher who will share their knowledge with you, emphasise the importance of simple techniques and create a user-friendly adjustable dance routine to your favourite song. The bottom line is learning the actual skill will enable you to use it anytime and in any setting + create an opportunity for a memorable dance experience. After all, dancing never goes out of fashion.
