Question 1

When should I start the Abiball dance course?

Accepted Answer

Most dance schools and studios start their Abiball dance courses around two to three months before the ball, i.e. in spring or early summer. This gives you enough time to learn the basic steps, try out new moves and get used to the rhythm step by step. Some dance schools also offer refresher or crash courses shortly before the ball - perfect for brushing up on the steps again.

Question 2

Which dances are customary at the Abiball?

Accepted Answer

The classic is the slow waltz, often as the opening dance or for the celebratory moments at the beginning. The programme also includes dances such as disco fox, cha-cha-cha, rumba or jive - all dances that are easy to learn and fit to almost any music.some schools also plan a modern opening dance to a current song or even a small group choreography. Either way, with an Abiball dance course you will be able to cope with any music on prom night, whether it's a waltz or a weekend hit.

Question 3

Do you need a regular dance partner?

Accepted Answer

No, you can also take part without a fixed partner. In most courses, there are regular changes so that everyone can dance and no one is left alone. This even has advantages: You get to know different dance styles, tempos and movements and meet new people along the way. If you want, you can of course also dance with someone from your year, but this is not a must.

Question 4

What do I wear to dance class?

Accepted Answer

What counts most in class is freedom of movement and comfort. Trainers or flat shoes with some grip are ideal for dancers and comfortable shoes with a low to medium heel for female dancers. Please do not wear heels that are too high or smooth soles, otherwise you will slip easily.Clothing: comfortable but neat. Jeans, T-shirt or sporty-elegant is always fine. Some dance schools organise a short rehearsal dance in festive attire shortly before the ball. This is a good opportunity to test how the ball outfit feels on the dance floor.

Question 5

I've already been to the school dance club, is the Abiball dance course still worthwhile?

Accepted Answer

Definitely! There are often two or three years between the school dance circle and the Abiball, so some things can be forgotten. The Abiball dance course is also more tailored to the ball itself: more festive, more grown-up, more up-to-date. Here you not only learn to brush up on moves, but also new steps, more modern music styles and little tricks to look good on the dance floor.

Question 6

What if I've never danced before?

Accepted Answer

No problem, most people start without any previous knowledge. The instructors show you everything step by step from the beginning, at a calm pace and with a lot of humour. If you make a mistake or get out of step: completely normal. Each lesson is structured so that you feel safe, have fun and notice how dancing becomes more and more natural. After a few weeks, you will automatically move to the beat and at the ball you will ask yourself why you ever had any doubts.

Question 7

How can my family and guests prepare for dancing at the Abiball?

Accepted Answer

It is also worthwhile for parents, family and other guests at the graduation ball to get a taste of dancing before the big evening arrives. Many dance schools offer crash courses or weekend workshops especially for special occasions. There you can learn the most important steps for disco fox, waltz or cha-cha-cha, i.e. exactly the dances that will be played on the prom night.
