How to master dancing

Firstly, what is mastery when it comes to dance? We think that it’s about training your body so it’s prepared and ready to move in dance, without thinking, comfortably and enjoyably. It’s not achieving some arbitrary level of expertise, not related to any extrinsic goals, really doesn’t depend on anyone else’s judgement.

But it takes time, and effort.

You can read through the courses here in a morning. There aren't too many words, and we've tried to make the explanations clear using simple language and introducing concepts in logical sequences. (If you have ideas to improve this - get in touch!)

Reading is one thing. Changing your mind can happen in an instant. Learning to dance involves changing the physical material of your body.

It's not a complicated process, and we have included ideas for you to practice - and coming soon is a course for training your body for dance, with exercises and ideas to help you. But it requires a little repetition over time to condition our bodies for ease of movement. It shouldn’t feel hard, but the more you dance, the better you get. The better you get, the better you feel!

Don't give up! There are simple exercises you can do daily by yourself to prime your body to lead and follow, do them daily, dance when you are able and you will soon be burning up the dance floor! (or kitchen, or paddock, or… where do you dance?)
