The world of dance is constantly evolving and growing. With that growth, come new ways to make dance more accessible for everyone from the studio to home. There are so many resources out there that make dancing from home so much easier. Such as online dance classes, YouTube videos, and dance tutorials. Here is how technology is helping to open up the dance world:
Accessibility and Ease of Access
Dance Anytime, Anywhere
Due to scheduling conflicts or distance, it can be hard to make it to the studio every day. Online dance classes can be taken at your own convenience, and YouTube tutorials provide an affordable outlet for continuing your training at home. Online classes and tutorials can fill gaps in your schedule and give you opportunities for dancing whenever inspiration strikes! Dance it out at midnight!
Learn New Styles
While you might take classes in a few styles at your studio learning new genres of dance or even your favorite choreographer’s signature style might require you to venture out. Searching online for inspiration and classes in the styles you want to dip your toes into is a great way to practice a skill your studio doesn’t offer or try something on your own time before committing to in-person classes. The diversity in styles allows dancers to expand their training and confidence in learning new things.
The Best of the Best
Access to Incredible Teachers and Choreographers
The digital world gives us access to so many people we may never be able to meet or learn from otherwise. From finding a master class taught by your favorite dancer to breaking down the moves from music videos and teaching yourself choreography, getting trained by a diverse group of teachers will help you to become an even better dancer.
Get Detailed
Self-pacing is another benefit of online learning. Online dance classes or videos are typically broken down more and are presented at a slower pace. This is great if you are a new dancer or struggle to pick up choreography. Plus if you are watching a video, you can pause and rewind it as many times as you need to go over the instructions.
Affordable
Affordable training
Online dance classes are typically much cheaper than in-person ones, and most Youtube tutorials are free, which makes these options very budget-friendly. Everyone should be able to dance regardless of their financial status.
Reducing Additional Expenses
If you’re dancing on a budget, taking some of your classes online can bring down the cost of other dance expenses like transportation or meals on the go. That extra money can go towards more classes, equipment, and clothes.
