Even if you are not that good, dancing frees the body to float along with the music, and to cast off stress - Byron Pulsifer
Dance is a way of life that can never go out of style. Dance can be an art and sport at the same time. Among the benefits of dance on the body and mind, dance helps to relax and keep fit. No wonder a party is not complete without the presence of music and people dancing to the rhythm.
If you are having challenges at the beginning of your lessons with some steps, do not worry yourself. In no time, with constant practice and determination, you will become a pro at it. Sometimes you have to forget the technique to feel the movements, the workout or the music!
We have several dance styles in Nigeria and several others across the world. You can start learning these dance steps on youtube from the comfort of your home with a good internet connection and an internet-enabled device.
