Five things you need for dance:
1. Rhythm
Learning dance takes a lot of focus because certain moves happen at specific times. Dances are often counted musically in counts of 8. This means the dance is often taught by each 8 count of the music. When learning a dance it is important that you are counting the music in your head to know when to do the next move. At Jhalak Dance Academy we make sure to teach the right skills to help our students learn the timing of dances!
2. Water bottle
Dancing is an amazing exercise because it gets your whole body moving! Just like any exercise, you must stay hydrated. Having a water bottle is a great way to make sure you are getting the water you need!
3. Proper dance shoes
Different types of dance shoes are needed for different types of dance styles. For ballet classes, ballet slippers or pointe shoes are used. For hip hop, sneakers are often used. Believe it or not, some styles are done barefoot! Bollywood dance is an example of a style that is done barefoot! However, if your feet need extra support, you can wear shoes such as sneakers.
4. Patience
Patience is a good thing to have when dancing because some dances are harder to learn than others. Professional dancers practice their dances over and over again until it is almost perfect to perform. Some dance moves that are more difficult will take more practice to achieve and others will take a shorter amount of time. It is important to not get discouraged if you cannot do a dance move on the first try. What’s most important is that you are trying your best!
5. Confidence
Confidence is great to have when it comes to dance performances. It is important to be confident so that you perform at your best! Also, learning to perform dances will in return teach you confidence! At Jhalak Dance Academy, we praise our students talents and set them up for success!
