Dancing
provides an ideal social climate in which to meet new people. And
since learning to dance is a skill that stays with you for the rest
of your life, the benefit of being able to continuously meet new
people will never disappear. Chicago Dance is the perfect stop to
meet a new group of friends.
The students at our school are warm, friendly and enthusiastic,
and are the most important part of the Chicago Dance experience.
All the dances can be danced for the simple social
pleasure of people moving to the music together. Some people may
also have the desire to do competitive dancing, where the partners
are trying to meet a high standard of technical and artistic goals.
Most of the group courses we teach at Chicago Dance
are geared towards social dancing (except for those, such as International
Style or Formations, which are specifically focused on performance
and competition). Several dances are taught more "style"
because they are dance climate:
Salsa, Merengue, Bachata, Cumbia, West Coast Swing, Hustle and
Argentine Tango.
We try to provide an atmosphere for men and women
to gather together and develop friendships. Dance is a great excuse
to dress up and have a good time. The physical exertion and fun
of partner dancing combine to create one of the most effective
stress releases available. Going out dancing and taking dance
lessons allows you to forget about your everyday problems and
focus on fun, flirting and friendship. And best of all, you can
dance at any age and feel great.
Most people are not fortunate enough to grow up
dancing. But you’re never too young or too old to start
dancing. The initial learning process tends to occur best in a
structured way. We will teach you a series of steps and moves
because it is more meaningful to you as a student and more productive
for us as instructors. Since repetition is essential to learning
any physical activity we work on a consistent vocabulary of steps.
