Dance Together: Learn Dance At Home

12/30/2024

If you are thinking about taking the plunge for some basic dance classes, this is an excellent place to begin!

Do you want to learn dance but never got around to signing up?

Well, this is your sign to enroll because

This is the ONLY time we are offering Fundamentals of Social Dancing for 2025.

That's right. This is it. Why?

Because 250 of your friends already enrolled in the class last year and are now dance addicts and they want more advanced offerings.

They want performance team practices.

They want out-of-town fancy instructors to teach workshops.

They want to participate in community events.

They want socials.

And we can't do it all 🤷🏽

So, February is our first and ONLY Fundamentals class offered this year. If you think you have two left feet and want to get into dance, now is your last chance!

We won’t offer this class again until January of 2026. Our schedule is set and that’s that. So…. what are you waiting for?

Have you spent time feeling the touch of your partner lately?
It's an important thing to according to every objective metric related to human well-being. Want a little fun trick for more connective touch?
Try one of our favorite exercises from our connective instinct training for couples- The Embrace
1. Turn on some soothing/romantic music
2. Connect together in a relaxed embrace, try to have as much physical connection as possible, make sure you both feel comfortable and balanced.
3. Close your eyes.
4. Hold still with no movement and focus on feeling your physical connection. Double check that you are completely relaxed, you should feel no tension in your embrace, adjust if you need to.
5. Breathe deeply in and out at the same time together. (Agree together who will initiate the breath in, the other should respond to the breath of the other by breathing in as well.)
6. Breathing and holding still spend the time feeling one another for 2 whole songs.
7. Open your eyes and spend a song looking into each others eyes, keep breathing together.
You're finished, go ahead and enjoy whatever happens next! 😉😜

What should you look for when identifying a dance coach/teacher who can help you succeed in your efforts to begin or improve on your journey?

We would say there are three things you need to see in a coach, and it isn’t how many followers they have on social media, paper certification, or degrees. The 3 essential attributes to look for in a coach are-

1. Disciplined. They work hard and discipline themselves to become the best they can be. They will also inspire you to be the best you can be.
2. Teachable (And humble). They remain humble and teachable. A coach who is constantly expanding their understanding and is passionate about learning more will be open to helping you answer the questions that you will have.
3. Inspiring. The best coach will inspire you when you reach a difficult learning season, they will be there for you with the experience to help you overcome the challenges and grow into the best dancer you can become in a way that gives life, and doesn’t leave you feeling discouraged.

What do you think are some other important qualities of a good coach?
