Benefits and Challenges Of Learning To Dance Online

Many people developed new hobbies and interests during the lockdown period. As people stayed at home, some decided to pass their time doing their favourite hobbies. Dancing was one of the many activities that helped people get through the tough times. People of all ages turned to learning to dance online. 

There is a big case for learning online as it helps students to think independently.  But learning dance through online platforms has its pros and its cons. People interested in taking up online dance classes should consider all these points before signing up for online dance classes.

Benefits of learning to dance online

Some of the main pros of learning to dance online are:

• No fixed hours: Since you are learning to dance online by yourself, you can have flexible learning schedules. There are no fixed hours in which you have to attend a class. You can learn to dance online at any time.

 

• No geographical limitations: With online classes, you can have access to the best dance teachers around the world. It's possible to sign up with international dance teachers as there are no geographical limitations to online platforms.

 

• Less expensive: If you were to learn dance in a studio, there would be other associated costs aside from the class fees. For instance, travelling and clothing expenditure. With online dance classes, you can stay at home and wear whatever you like.

 

• Thinking independently: We have noticed that when our students use our online dance course to learn, the very fact that they are not relying on us to guide their every move brings a much deeper understanding of what they are learning. They learn to think independently and figure things out by themselves, which compounds over time, and makes learning new moves and routines a lot easier. 

Drawbacks of learning dance online

For all its benefits, there are some cons to learning to dance online. Some of them are:

• Self Motivation: Sometimes the hardest part is just starting your online dance class. Because you are learning in your own time, procrastination can be a problem. You must stay motivated and develop your own schedule to stick with it. 

 

• Face-to-face interaction: There is less face-to-face interaction when learning online. Which naturally inhibits the social side of dance.  

 

• Technique: If you are learning to dance online, it's very important to get the fundamentals right, otherwise little problems with technique can be harder to fix as the student progresses to higher levels. a good course will have have plenty of drills and dance exercises that you can do to improve technique
