Any advice (experienced dancers)?

Question

I'm going to be starting some dance classes this September (for the first time) and was wondering if you had any tips/pointers. Thanks.

Answer 1

make sure that ur focused, willing to learn and concentrate on what the dance instructor is asking of you..... but you need to remember that ur not going to get it just like that, its going to take you some time.

good luck and have fun :)

Answer 2

Well pretty much you will need ballet for basically all other types of dance except hip hop. So i would suggest that you pay close attention in class. Anytime you feet are off of the ground, point them. When you stretch dont stretch until it hurt, just stretch until you feel tension, not pain. And since this is your first class HAVE FUN!!!=] Hope it helped

Answer 3

Yeah , we need to know what type . . but here are some general tips .

Stretch  a little bit before you go to class

never go to class on a full or empty stomach , eat something light and healthy .

Take a drink yo class with you

have your hair tied back .

If your teacher gives someone else a correction  apply it to your own dancing

set small achievable goals and work really hard towards them .

Welcome to the world of dance !

Answer 4

pull your hair back and pin it back off your face (a bun or a ponytail usually do the trick), wear fitting clothing so you can see your body, bring ballet slippers or socks, bring a water bottle, and try to warm-up and cool down after class by stretching gently...  i hope that answers your question, have fun at the class!

Answer 5

It would help a lot to know what kind of dance you plan on taking. Different types of dance would require us to give you different tips.

Answer 6

Well, it depends on what type of dance classes you enrolled in. Different dance styles require different types of points and tips!

Answer 7

i used to dance. just like in technice always have a spot or something steady and high to look at. it will make your jumps and leaps higher and will have all your turns and spins end up in the right direction. also stretch alot.
