STREET DANCE with DancEnigma (Port Elizabeth)

YAY, something we can use without a partner, to get your groove on in a Club, or alone, in your own lounge, but SO MUCH FUN, and they can take you to stage, and perform, why not, you only live 9 times right? Each time you should dance til you die!

In FITNESS TRAINING & ACTIVITIES, we are focusing on Dance for Exercise, and this week, STREET DANCE. With so much focus on it of late, especially with movies dedicated to it, we thought we'd follow trend and join the party. 

Meet...

DancEnigma is Street Dance for everyone! They are the No.1 provider of street dance and hip-hop classes in South Africa, and have a flair for Beginners & Intermediate, so if you are completely new, you are sorted. 

They will work with any age group, and are currently only based in Port Elizabeth. 

So, for those of you who don't know exactly what street dance is, its a fusion of choreography from a variety of styles making possibilities endless. More popular styles taught at DancEnigma include, Popping, Locking, Vogue, Wacking, Krump, Dance Hall Funk, Nu Skool & Houes...(and you're like what???) Simply put for the complete beginner, its close enough to Hip-Hop, Google that and you'l have an idea. 

Its a fusion, with no boundries and many options, but it'l leave you feeling seriously cool.

The talented, friendly and energetic instructors have experiance in various styles of dance and have worked with a huge array of abilities, so you will never feel a fool, in fact, you might even think you should be the lead in the next 'Step-Up' or Street Dance' movie, (even if only in your head, its fine). But this will also help you being newer to it all as it'l help you develop your own unique style, which is the best part of Street Dance, its your style that matters most. 

So you have to watch a few videos to get an idea, because we cant describe this more, BUT, we must tell you, IT IS AMAZING EXERCISE!!!

BALLROOM & LATIN DANCE with Dance De'Art

Right, so while we realise that some of the exercise forms we mention this month, you may already know of, you'd be dead under a rock if you didn't, but what you may not know of is the various places you can go, and which dance forms are phenomenal for exercise, or may not have thought about it as a substitute. 

Dance is probably one of the best forms of all-round exercise....look it wont give you hulk proportions, but remember that that's not what its all about, its about just getting out there and engaging in solid heart racing exercise that is good for overall muscle strength, agility and fitness.....oh, and HAVING FUN!!!! 

Having fun is far more important than building a hulky frame, one that you can do nothing with except lift a car in an emergency, which is never, right?! (And even then a ballet mistress under the right circumstances can life a car in an emergency, just saying...#)

So, look again, at FITNESS TRAINING & ACTIVITIES, and for this week, this months focus is LATIN & BALLROOM DANCE. 

There is very little than can match the sex-appeal and sheer tenacity of the Argentine Tango...

 

 

 

or the Grace, Beauty and Charm of the Waltz....

  

 

Neither are easy, but both are fun to learn and incredibly good for everything wellness, its takes endurance, strength, grace, sex-appeal, agility, speed, timing, concentration, omg, so much, BUT THIS CAN ALL BE LEARNT, in time, you don't need to be a ballet dancer to do this, or even close, and what you don't have can be taught, but its SO much fun trying, and you either do it with your own partner, mate, spouse, friend, or you meet new people, either way its a win, and its addictive. 

Look at these amazing professionals, remember though, everyone started at the bottom, but look at what you can do....

Latin...Argentine Tango

Ballroom....Viennese Waltz

And then....well then there this....

So that may take a little longer, but live the dream, in your head you look like that and that's all that matters, bugger who's watching, dance like you don't care, the more you do that, the more you'll get it right and LOVE IT, LOVE IT, LOVE IT!

If you are wondering where to go, try google, there are places everywhere, but we quite like....

Based in Hatfield Pretoria, Dancer De'Art, besides having highly skilled teachers and offering Ballroom & Latin Training, ALSO offers a whole host of others dance training, including, Ballet, Contemporary, Hip Hop, Jazz, Modern, Tap, and they offer Sports Aerobics, Pilate's & Stretch Training.
