Join the most exciting and glamorous of sports!

DanceSport is an fun and glamorous sport that ignites everyone’s imagination. Many find that once they begin, they wish they had started earlier! It’s a fun and rewarding activity for people of all ages, and bound to have something for you.

There are many different ways you can enjoy DanceSport, such as dancing in:

How then do you get into this amazing sport? We recommend that you first try dancing in a group class; get a feel for how enjoyable DanceSport can be. It’s that easy.

 

Try Latin & Ballroom group dance classes

Participating in a Latin or Ballroom group dance class is a great way to start out in DanceSport. As it’s a group class, you don’t have to worry about bringing a partner. If you don’t want to go alone, it’s great to bring along a friend so you can support each other.

You are taught some basic moves and then start doing some simple patterns to music. So you can be rest assured you will be dancing from day one. It’s a wonderful and fun activity that can form great friendships that last a lifetime.

Get  group dance classes from a DanceSport school

DanceSport studios and schools are spread across Melbourne and Victoria so there is a good chance there is one near you. They are official members of DanceSport and so abide by a professional Code of Conduct. This is a generous offer, and a fantastic opportunity to get a feel for what starting out in DanceSport is like.

Great exercise and development

Dancing is a gentle way to exercise your body without even realising it, and helps develops good muscle tone. It increases mind and muscle coordination and improves body posture.

You will find going to group dance class increase your self-confidence and self-assurance. Dancing in a group class is a great way to improve your communication skills. You can learn how to dance with people of all levels, follow and lead, improvise and express your personality.

Dancing in a group class is a rewarding way to spend your leisure time.

 

What happens after group dance classes?

We recommend that you stay in group classes for a few months at least. It takes time and effort to build skills and ability to competently partner dance with music. It is important to know that DanceSport is made up of a number of different dances, each with their own unique character and technique.

Most dance studios offer casual group classes on a ‘pay as you go’ basis, while some offer a number of classes for an up-front, set fee. Decide which is best for you and choose the studio that suits your needs. Cost of tuition does vary, so feel free to ask questions when deciding where to dance.

Many see dancing as an artistic expression of oneself, rather than just a physical sport. Whether you are interested in expanding your social life, doing medals or being challenged by serious competition, at some point in your life you should experience the joy of dancing at the next level.

Social dancing

Most people who begin in group classes eventually want to try out their skills at social dancing. Once you have been doing dance lessons for a while, try out participating at the studio or school social dances as these are great for practising what you have learnt in class. You can also try studio or school competitions that get you out on the floor performing in front of a crowd.

Social dancing and studio competitions are where you can easily get to see in action your improved self-confidence, self-assurance and communication. You get to practise dance etiquette as well as partner dancing. It’s a rewarding activity that is lots of fun and great exercise.

Medallist dancing

The easiest way to progress after experiencing some social dancing is dancing as a medallist.

As you grow in confidence, many dancers progress to working through medal examinations. This is training to development technique, perfect footwork, strengthen posture and learn internationally recognised dance figures. You can undertake training to achieve technical levels in a broad range of dance styles. You perform your dances at a medal exam in formal dance wear and get personal feedback. Further, you get formal recognition for your achievement from a certified adjudicator.

It is quite common for people to move on from medals to competitive dancing. This is because while doing medals you will learn many skills and become confident in your ability to dance. There is no better place to show off these skills and ability than on the competition dance floor.

Competition dancing

Competition dancing evolved from social and medallist dancing. It attracts people who love to dance and have the urge to show their skill and talent in direct competition with other couples on the dance floor. Competitive dancers get lots of opportunity to dress up, feel elegant and look stunning. If you are ready for something a little more glamorous and exciting then this level of sport is ideal for you! There are many DanceSport competitions held in Melbourne throughout the year.

 

About DanceSport

The term ‘DanceSport’ has been adopted to make it clear this activity is recognised as an official sport. It originated from competitive ballroom dancing, but has expanded to include many dance styles. Further, DanceSport encompasses all aspects of dancing, such as development, participation, training, competition and accreditation.

DanceSport is ideal for developing amazing athletic discipline of your body and mind. This is because it is a physical sport, coupled with artistic creativity, musical interpretation, costume design, choreography and performance. It requires a combination of physical attributes such as strength, agility, coordination, stamina and fitness. Further, it requires a blend of creative and mental attributes including grace, style, discipline and teamwork.
