What should I look for in a dance school? She is very good at interpretive dance and in kindergarten won awards on a little dance she did for the reflections PTA program, her dance won three rounds. She is a bit of a perfectionist and doesn’t do well with criticism. She has taken a few casual dance classes. She seems most happy when beautiful music plays and she does her own moves to the music.

I would start her in ballet classes. Yes it’s structured and she may not be happy all the time, but she will learn a great foundation for almost all other dance styles. It sounds like she would be interested in contemporary or modern as she ages and both of those styles are heavily ballet based. I would work with her on being able to take constructive criticism as she will be "corrected" throughout her life and being able to deal with it in the right way is important.

I’ve never taken a dance class before and tonight I’m taking a go go dancing class. What do I wear? Just soffes with a tank top and sports bra? Or do I actually wear go go attire to the class?

I would say the soffe shorts and a sports bra with a tank over it. i go to dance classes before. usually i wear a pair of those short spandex volleyball shorts with a sports bra only or a spandex midriff crop top. if your comfortable just wearing that. but wear what makes you ok in and after all its pretty much like working out. im sure other girls will have on something like that.

I am looking for a pole dancing class in the Tulsa/ Owasso Oklahoma area. I can’t seem to find any info by using search engines. Any information would be much appreciated!

I would suggest Wild Horse Saloon, at 8186 S. Memorial Dr. The saloon offers amateur pole dancing so you could try to visit it. Hope this helps!

Im looking for some pole dancing classes. Can anyone tell me if there is some preferably close to downtown Columbia.

alot of, just get out of your room & search

I am a teen and I can’t find any good hip hop or break dancing classes for guys. I am in So-Cal, by the way. Help?

The street.

I have been wanting to take belly dancing lessons but I’ve never taken dance lessons outside of junior high school dance class so I was just wondering if anyone had any suggestions as to where would be best to go? I live just south of downtown Phoenix and work just west of Tempe on University Dr, if anyone knows of any good lessons available in either of those areas please let me know! Thanks!

There is a Meetup group of belly dancers and other like-minded performers in Phoenix, AZ that might give you some ideas about where to meet belly dancers. Apparently it is organized by a woman who studied Middle Eastern dance extensively, but has transformed it into something spiritual and empowering:

Also, here is another studio that teaches not only belly dancing, but many related dances such as Hula, Zumba and Indian dancing:

our daughter, taryn, has down syndrome. she had seen some films about dancing on television and she really liked it. she loved dancing so much that i decided to enroll her in a dancing class. i found a dancing class for her but the teacher would not accept her. she says she shouldn`t be in that class because of her disability, which made me really upset. why would she be so discriminating? taryn may be slow but she is very keen. what should we do?

It is so frustratingly hard to find an afrojazz class in uk. It seems I’d have to go to the States to attend an afro-jazz class. Does anyone do classes or attend classes?

yo woman have you tried craigslist yet

I’m almost 17 and I’d like to start hip hop dancing classes. what should i do to prepare myself? i mean do i need to loose a bit of weight or know some dancing steps? I’m not that thin but I’m not fat but do i need to loose weight? (I’m like 125 lbs but I’m a bit tall)
thank you for any tips

Honestly, you don’t *need* to do anything, really. But if you want to be prepared, stretch some. This is a really good link for split stretches:

Good luck!
