For more information, please go to www.vqdc.ca ************************************** Why and Where to PracticeWhy practice dance?? To get better, feel more confident, help your body to know and feel the dance, the movements, the particulars of the dance you're working on -- the memory of the dance. Sure, you'll learn, and improve, by going to class each week but still...the more you practice, the better you get!! Where?? Make a commitment to yourself to go over the steps once a day, even if it's on your tiny kitchen floor -- if that's all the dance space you have. Practicing alone is important to work on steps, posture, weight balance, etc. Waiting for the bus, on an elevator?? Practice cuban movements, foot/ankle strengthening exercises. A bit of a stretch for practicing ballroom steps, but never say "never"!! Get together with a dance buddy or two, and practice wherever you can find space to do so, including outdoors. Organize a group and go to one of the many ballrooms around town who hold afternoon "T-Dances" for a $3 - $4 fee as well as evening dancing. e.g. Vancouver Ballroom on Prior St near Georgia Viaduct, Danny's on E. Pender, Fitness Centre on Fraser near 41st) |
