Question 1

I'm planning a big party. How early should I start a course?

Accepted Answer

Many dance schools and studios also offer crash courses or individual private lessons: perfect if you need to practise quickly or want exclusive preparation.

Question 2

I have been invited as a guest to a large party. Is a dance course worthwhile for me?

Accepted Answer

Especially if you haven't danced for a long time or sometimes feel insecure on the dance floor. With a dance course, you'll be able to move more confidently, more favourably and more relaxed and really enjoy the evening.

Question 3

Do I need previous knowledge for a dance course to be more confident on the dance floor at the next party?

Accepted Answer

No, most people start such dance classes with little or no dance experience. The dance instructors show you step by step simple movements that look good and are fun. Once you have mastered the basic steps and first moves, the level of difficulty can be increased.

Question 4

Which dances are most often danced at birthday parties and anniversaries?

Accepted Answer

At most parties, the DJ or band plays a mixture of party hits, pop and classics, i.e. dances that are easy to learn and go with many songs. These include above allDiscofox: the all-rounder for almost any song, ideal for a relaxed party atmosphereViennese waltz: perfect for the celebratory moment at the beginning or dances of honourCha-Cha-Cha & Rumba: modern, rhythmic & ideal for couplesSalsa: for guests who like it passionate and full of energyIf you're unsure where to start, disco fox is almost always a very good choice: it looks good, is quick to learn and goes with an incredible number of songs. For particularly festive moments, a Viennese waltz is the best option.

Question 5

Many of my guests say they have two left feet. How do I convince them to dance anyway?

Accepted Answer

Honestly, that's what over 80% of people say at first, but as soon as the music starts and the mood rises, most people want to join in. All you need is an easy start and the feeling that you're not alone - that's the best way to do it:Stay relaxed: It's not about how perfectly someone dances, but how good they feel about it.Simple dance style: Discofox almost always works, even with very little practiceCreate community moments: Group dances or small join-in activities also get the shy ones on the floorAct as role models: If a few brave people start, the rest usually follow quickly - the party effectWith a short dance class beforehand, you can take away your guests' biggest fear: the worry of feeling awkward.

Question 6

We want to prepare a surprise dance as a group. How do we prepare it?

Accepted Answer

Great idea, performances like this always go down really well! The easiest way is to choose a beginner's course in a suitable dance style (e.g. discofox or cha-cha-cha). Many dance schools also offer individual choreography support:The dance school will develop a suitable choreography with youYou can choose your favourite song or a fun remixAdapt the choreography to the location and the space availableStep sequences should be chosen so that they are easy to learn and safe to set upTip: It's best to start 4-6 weeks in advance so that everyone can relax and learn.
