Strategies for Beginner Ballroom Dancers

Ballroom dancing is an excellent way for adults to exercise, socialize, and express themselves. Arthur Murray Dance Studio in North Hampton offers beginner through advanced-level dance classes for adults so anyone can get moving. While we provide all the instruction you’ll need, there are a few strategies you can use on your own to get started on the right foot.

Practice

Practice, practice, practice! Repetition is key to gaining the muscle memory needed to develop skills in ballroom dance lessons. You’ll often hear your instructor tell you to practice some footwork or specific moves. Practicing on your own between classes can help you advance even faster.

Look For Patterns

Learning a long string of steps can be overwhelming, but most dance styles use repetitive patterns in the steps. Looking for these can help you pick up on new choreography more easily. When you dance with a partner, having some patterns down may help you with fluidity because you’ll know what comes next.
