Starting with dance requires just three essential ingredients:
FOCUS, WILLPOWER, and good music.
At first, it may feel challenging and unfamiliar.
But stick to it, no matter what!
Dedicate just 20 minutes each day to practice the basics, and you'll be amazed at the progress after three months.
With consistent practice, you'll find yourself slipping effortlessly into that flow state, where the real magic happens.
You can dance without all the technicalities, but mastering the technique provides a powerful tool to express yourself on a whole new level. Once I became good with my technique I became more confident in showing my dance and sharing it with others.
