Easy Dance Routines

Many people say they can't dance or that dancing is not their cup of tea, etc,. Well, let me tell them that dance is one of the most expressive and active form of art that can be learnt without much efforts. All it needs is right co-ordination of the body movements with the music, and some practice. However, choreographing a dance routine can be little challenging but if executed properly anybody can master it. The level of difficulty in a dance routine may range from simple dance steps to advanced ballet technique. This not only requires proper steps coordination, but the dancer should also be able to memorize the steps in a set order. Following are some tips on easy dance routines for beginners or easy dance routines for kids that will help you to remember the steps correctly.

Easy Dance Routines

• Break down the dance routine into a series of common steps and combinations. Learn the steps as well as the name of the steps so that once you are familiar with them, you will be able to memorize the entire routine faster.
• Right music selection is important for the success of the dance, hence select a piece of music that possesses certain beats and tempo changes. Listen to the music closely and try to relate the steps with the beats and the lyrics of the song.
• Assign a few moves for each set that fit the beat and lyrics of the song. Make sure to end each set with such a move that it will enable you to follow next set of moves easily.
• If you are learning from a dance instructor, watch the instructor closely when he/she is demonstrating the steps. Before trying the step on your own, wait until your instructor finishes demonstrating the step. Mimicking steps while the instructor is demonstrating can actually make you miss some part of the step, so watch him/her carefully and then try.
• Once you are through with the steps, practice them in a mirrored room so that if needed you can make necessary changes to add a better finish to your dance routine.

Easy Hip Hop Dance Routines

• First decide at what level of skill the dance routine can be performed as if you exceed your skill level, hip hop dance can become a bit difficult.
• Before choreographing, choose music for your hip hop routine and borrow ideas from different recent hip hop videos so that you will have the most up-to-date moves.
• Start choreographing with simple 8 step sequences that are easy to remember. If you are teaching others, keep in mind the level of difficulty of the dance routine and the dancing skills of the your dancers.
• Continue choreographing 8 count sequences until you have sufficient steps to finish your song. Practice your routine in a mirrored room so you can see the dance routine from all angles and if any finishing is required, you can do it.

Easy Salsa Dance Routines

• Before choreographing, select the music as per your dancing skill level, as salsa music has 180 beats per minute which sometimes can be difficult to follow.
• This dance routine has an 8 beat pattern, generated of two bars of 4 beats. The salsa dancing routine comprises one of three steps, followed by a skipped step or a tap on the fourth beat.
• The simple and basic salsa step is on counts 1, 2, and 3, where one partner steps forward, and the other substitutes the weight to the preceding support foot, keeping it in place and then stepping backwards. On the counts 5, 6, and 7, the latter has to step backwards and substitute the weight to the preceding support foot, keeping it in place and then stepping forward again.
• This simple step forms the basis for a multiple of other salsa routines, hence practice repeatedly in a mirrored room to be aware of your routine from all perspectives.

While practicing these easy dance routines don't be too hard on yourself if it seems to take you a bit longer to learn than others. With time and practice, the ability to learn these routines will improve and eventually you will be able to learn complicated steps and combinations as well.
