Five good reasons to join a dance class
- Get out
- Put into practice your coordination and memory skills
- Exercise while having fun
- Meet new people and expand your circle of friends
- Discover or rediscover different styles of music
It has been proven, that couples, that are also dance partners have a higher probability of staying together and in better health! And for those who come unaccompanied, there are always partners to dance with.
WEDDING CHOREOGRAPHY :
To prepare for your opening dance on the occasion of your wedding, choose a music that you like and take your appointments early.
Indeed, it takes time to memorize a sequence of steps and figures of a minute and a half to two minutes!
