Never taken a dance class before?
Here are some inspiring and instructional thoughts from Rachel Boggia:
You do not need to be a good dancer to take a dance class.
You do not have to look good in a leotard to take a dance class.
You do not have to be coordinated to take a dance class.
You do not have to be flexible to take a dance class.
You do not already have to know a dance technique to take a dance class.
You do not have to be biologically female to take a dance class.
You have to be interested in moving. Fear may be an indication of interest.
In dance class, you will learn how to learn movement.
In dance class, you will think about movement.
In dance class, you will create your own movement.
Words, music, and the breath are part of dance class.
Sensation and touch are a part of dance class.
The voice may be a part of dance class.
Presence and attention are part of dance class.
Spatial awareness is a part of dance class.
Decision making is a part of dance class.
Culture, power and politics are part of dance class.
Being sociable, aware, and disciplined is a part of dance class.
Dance class creates community.
In modern dance class:
You will learn to stretch.
You will learn to partner.
You will learn to move through space with confidence.
You will use your visual focus.
You will put weight on your hands.
You will roll around with purpose.
You will learn sequences of movement.
You will learn some history of movement.
You will learn to listen to your body.
You will learn to express through spatial relationship.
You will learn to pick up subtle cues from others.
You will experience the subtle power of changing habitual action and creating habitual action.
You will hear music that is new to you.
You will push your imagination and your physicality.
You will learn how to bring intention and actuality closer together when it comes to your entire body.
These skills are applicable to most other art forms and many areas of life in general, including graphic design, politics, social relationships, math, and running a meeting.
