The Benefits of Singles Classes

One question we get a lot here at Dance FX Studios is “Do I need a partner to take lessons here?” The answer to this would be: No. A partner is nice to have, but not necessary. We also have classes designed for singles to learn to dance and meet new people. There are several great reasons to take single’s classes, and why they might be great for you.

1.  You learn to be a better leader or follower through rotation during the singles’ classes. Dancing with one person all the time is a great way to learn how to lead or follow, but switching off is very beneficial in its own way.  As you switch partners, you learn different ways to lead, get accustomed to different bodies, and you don’t get comfortable doing the same thing with the same person. You get to branch out and try new things, which is important while learning how to dance.

2.  Meeting new people is one of the great benefits of singles classes as well. Getting to know people who share an interest in dance and being able to take classes and interact with them creates great connections between students. You gain not only great dancing skills, but potential dance partners for other group classes, as well as a group of friends to go out dancing with.

3.  Singles classes are an inexpensive way to learn to dance.  You get some of the same moves that you would in private lessons, as well as learning how to apply them to any real life situation. The difference is singles group classes, held once a week for a month, are less of a financial commitment, not focusing as much on technique or more complicated moves.

Singles classes are great supplements to private classes, and can even be used as a starting point. They can be used to meet fantastic people who enjoy dancing just as much as you do. You can also learn how to become a better leader or follower by dancing with the different people in the singles class. Our singles classes are created to get more people to dance, to meet other dancers, and develop healthy dance habits on the dance floor. At Dance FX Studios, we teach group classes to both singles and couples across several styles, including Salsa and Country 2 Step.  Come see for yourself who you can meet and what you can learn.
