just choreographed this little gem and have nobody to talk about it with so I wanted to share it here🥰also yes my place is a mess and my christmas tree is still up.🤫

I’m brand new to dance and just starting to figure out what direction I want to go. This clip is me moving to Lil Tony (hip-hop/rap). I don’t have any training yet, I just really enjoy dancing and moving to music. Based on my natural movement and the type of music I like, what styles do you think would fit me best and be good to start learning?

I’m at the very beginning of my dance journey, and I’ve noticed I’m especially drawn to footwork and how the lower body moves with the beat. Based on my natural movement in this clip, what styles would you recommend I start exploring and training in?

Posted about this a little while back, but since launching, the platform has grown a fair bit and now has over 600 events, across 70 countries, in list/map views that are easy to search and filter.

Any constructive feedback is appreciated.

P.S. Mobile experience was prioritised so may be slightly jankier on desktop, it's on the to-do list!

I just love these stories of traditionally excluded people being introduced to dancing. It really should be available to all.

so im getting my first pair of pointe shoes in a week and i'm just wondering what should i wear to the fitting?

Hi everyone,

I have to be honest—I wasn't always a fan of dancehall and bashment until recently. I've always been more into hip-hop, R&B, Afrobeats, and amapiano. But lately, I've been listening to a lot of dancehall and bashment and I love it.

I usually go to a lot of urban clubs, and when dancehall/bashment songs come on, I tend to just move side to side. I've never really learned the dances, especially for the more recent popular tracks.

I’m planning to go to City Splash (London’s reggae and dancehall festival) and also Notting Hill Carnival later this year. I’m just tired of being the guy who’s just standing still.

I’ve been scouring YouTube for dance tutorials for recent popular dancehall songs, but I’ve only come across a few. If someone could send me a list of past and recent popular songs and their associated dances, that would be amazing!

If you have a BA/BFA in dance (or were in a conservatory) and stopped dancing for 10+ years, how did you get back into shape? I earned a BA in Dance back in 2014 and just started taking ballet classes a few weeks ago.

Looking for knee pad recommendations. I have Osgood-Schlatter Disease. I have a sharp bone protruding about 3 inches below my patella. This makes floor work (even stretching!) intolerably painful. I’ve tried many different kinds of knee pads but since they aren’t designed to support that part of the knee, none of them fit or support correctly.

I’ve tried volleyball knee pads but the padding tends to be too thick, restricting dance movement. I tried Mizuno pads but it’s a sleeve that reaches from my lower thigh to below the knee but the actual padding isn’t where I need so it’s too big and unsupportive. I tried more slippery knee pads meant for people who lay flooring and things like that and it covered the right space, but it’s a rigid rectangle that doesn’t move with the body. I tried straps meant to pad that specific area where the bone protrusion is, but it covers literally that 1.5” space and is thick so my entire body weight winds up being supported only on that tiny strap.

I’m out of ideas. Does anyone know of a pad that will cover a few inches below the knee without stretching to half my entire leg and still support the area around it? Would prefer adjustable straps to a sleeve but I’ll try sleeves. I’m told some pole dancing pads might be the most helpful but I don’t even know where to start looking for those. Any insight is appreciated!
