What to take with you to your dance class?
In order to easily get ready for dance lessons and training, you must have before your eyes a list of the most necessary things to take with you:
- Clothing. Be sure to take a change of clothes and shoes with you. You can wear any comfortable clothing during training. Which one? It depends on the style and direction of the dance and the teachers will help in choosing the right clothes. You should definitely have clean clothes with you to change after class.
- Footwear. The main rule of choosing shoes is that they should be clean and comfortable. And, of course, fit the kind of dance that is being mastered.
- Hygiene products. Many studio schools have a shower, but some may not have a shower, so it's a good idea to have a pack of wet wipes with you anyway. An antiperspirant deodorant is also very useful both before and after exercise. It is also advisable to have a breath freshener - spray, chewing gum, or mints, which must be consumed before training - nothing should be embarrassing or disturbing during classes, especially at pair dances.
- Food and drink. If the dance lessons take a long time, it is helpful 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: basic criteria
First of all, it is worthwhile to accurately understand and formulate for what purpose dancing lessons are needed: 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 will be located near your home or in that 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 dance directions are covered, the better: this factor will allow you to choose the most convenient way of teaching. It is important to find out in which main direction of choreography the studio works, if there is an opportunity for individual lessons, whether master classes are held, whether school students take part in events, etc. A wide range of services allows you to create a personal training program that suits all parameters.
- 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 amount of the subscription fee and the ratio of price to number of classes. It is imperative to find out whether the studio concludes a contract for the provision of services, whether there is an increase in cost in the course of classes. And it is also worth clarifying whether there is a fee for additional services that are not indicated 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 required. There must be comfortable changing rooms equipped with everything you need (lockers, resting place), you also need showers and a separate bathroom. The halls and the dance floor must be spacious and equipped with a modern ventilation system. The comfort of the lobby or waiting area is of great importance, especially if the school is teaching children, since their parents should be comfortable waiting for the end of classes. The presence of a split system in summer and heaters in winter is desirable. An additional convenience will be the presence of a cafe or vending machines with food and drinks. The design of the premises and the interior are also important factors, as they influence the emotional state.
- Reviews. They will best talk about the dance school, the teachers, the attitude of the staff, the level of pay, the general atmosphere and the attitude towards newcomers. Comparison of reviews for several schools will give a certain idea of a particular studio and allow you to make a choice.
Various types, rhythms, directions of dance are useful not only for strengthening health and forming a beautiful figure, but also for self-expression, getting a lot of positive emotions and impressions. Choreography develops body language, giving an opportunity to get out of a state of stiffness, to open up, which will improve self-esteem and give self-confidence. Pair dance is a kind of communication that helps develop intuition and the ability to feel about oneself and one's partner. A variety of rhythms can give vigor, activity, or, conversely, help to relax. And this can be achieved by attending classes and training at the most popular studio schools in the city of Ufa.
