What to bring to dance class?
In order to easily get together for dance lessons and training, you need to have before your eyes a list of the most necessary things to take with you:
- Clothing. Be sure to bring a change of clothes and shoes. During training, you can be in any comfortable clothing. Which one? It depends on the style and direction of the dance, and teachers will help you choose the right clothes. Be sure to bring clean clothes with you to change after class.
- Shoes. The main rule for choosing shoes is that they should be clean and comfortable. And of course to fit the type of dance that is being mastered.
- Hygiene products. Many studio schools have showers, but some may not, so it's a good idea to have a pack of wet wipes with you anyway. Antiperspirant deodorant is also very useful both before and after class. It is also desirable to have a breath freshener - spray, chewing gum, or mints, which must be consumed before training - nothing should be embarrassing and disturbing during classes, especially in pair dances.
- Food and drink. If the dance lessons will take a long time, it will be useful to have food with you for a light snack. You should also bring a bottle of fresh drinking water with you.
How to choose a dance school: the main criteria
First of all, it is worthwhile to accurately understand and formulate the purpose for which dancing is necessary: as an alternative to sports and fitness, in order to demonstrate your dancing abilities in a club or at parties, as a pleasant hobby or professional activity. The choice of a suitable studio and its level will depend on this. It is especially convenient if the desired school is located close to home or in a part of the city that can be easily reached by public transport.
- Range of services. The more complete the list of services and programs provided by the school, the more areas of dance covered, the better: this factor will allow you to choose the most convenient way of learning. It is important to find out in what main direction of choreography the studio works, if there is an opportunity for individual lessons, if master classes are held, if school students take part in events, etc. A wide range of services allows you to create a personal training program that suits in all respects.
- Service cost. It all depends on personal financial capabilities and learning goals. It is best to compare the prices of several studio schools you like, study the price range, the monthly fee, and the price-to-class ratio. Be sure to find out if the studio concludes a contract for the provision of services, whether there is an increase in cost during the course. It is also worth clarifying whether a fee is charged for additional services that are not specified in the price list and contract. Everything related to finance should be transparent and understandable.
- Convenience. For successful training, a certain level of comfort and competent equipment of the school premises is necessary.There must be comfortable locker rooms equipped with everything necessary (lockers, a resting place), it is also necessary to have showers and a separate bathroom. Halls, dance floor, should be spacious, equipped with a modern ventilation system. The comfort of the hall or waiting area is of great importance, especially if the school is teaching children, as it should be convenient for their parents to wait for the end of classes. The presence of a split system in summer and heaters in winter is desirable. Additional convenience will be the presence of a cafe or vending machines with food and drinks. The design of premises and interiors are also important factors, as they affect the emotional state.
- Reviews. They will tell you the best about the dance school, the teachers, the attitude of the staff, the level of payment, the general atmosphere and the attitude towards newcomers. Comparison of reviews for several schools will give a certain idea about a particular studio and will allow you to make a choice.
Various types, rhythms, directions of dance are useful not only for improving health and forming a beautiful figure, but also for self-expression, getting a lot of positive emotions and impressions. Choreography develops body language, making it possible to get out of the state of constraint, to open up, which will improve self-esteem and give self-confidence. Pair dance is a kind of communication that helps to develop intuition and the ability to feel yourself and your partner. The variety of rhythms can give vivacity, activity, or, on the contrary, help to relax. And you can achieve this by attending classes and trainings in the most popular studio schools in the city of Ufa.
