Dance Basics
Regardless of the style you want to master next, there are multiple dimensions to go through. All the styles are related in some way and often fuse together for unique dance experiences. The first 3 journeys are required for every dancer. It is recommended to learn Freestyle before Choreography, so you get to know the music and your body first.
