We all have a lot of fears and insecurities that prevent us from trying new things. When it comes to dancing, many people make excuses for themselves for why they are not good at dancing. The old concept of having “two left feet” has prevented many from experiencing the joys of dancing. While some may be born with a natural ability to dance, everyone can learn rhythm and dance, regardless of how they perceive their abilities.
How to Learn Rhythm and Dance
We’re inspired daily by dance competition shows, TikTok, and music videos feeding our desire to learn to dance. However, the people you are watching are professionals. Even the best dance videos are rehearsed and planned out before being put on social media.
The first step to learning rhythm and dance is to accept that you are starting from the beginning, which means you’re going to make mistakes (a lot of mistakes), and you’re going to look and feel awkward in your body. Understand that these are all normal, beginner steps we all have to go through.
Beginner Dance Classes By Professional Instructors
We focus on world dance classes, yoga, and dance fitness at Bella Diva, but the principles are the same as any other dance class and style. We start from the beginning, teaching beginner students the foundation of the dance, taking it step-by-step, movement by movement, until the dance becomes an integrated part of your body.
We teach you how to hear the rhythm in the music and train your body to respond and move your body to tell a story and flow through the choreography smoothly and naturally.
Can Rhythm Be Taught?
You can learn rhythm, but first, you have to get out of the negative headspace telling you that you can’t dance. Dance should come from the heart and soul, but you need your head to send the right signals to the rest of your body. You need to overcome the mental obstacles you’ve created before you can open up your mind, body, and spirit to the rhythm and music.
You may think that you have no rhythm, but it is exactly that kind of negative thinking that’s preventing you from dancing like no one is watching.
