Brilliantly Liberating
The first thing to highlight about Sequence Dancing is that it is based upon Ballroom and Latin steps, many of which you already dance in your classes. Its title encapsulates it perfectly: a structured dance with a sequence of steps that never change.
This may sound limiting initially, but it’s precisely this predictability that makes it so brilliantly liberating. Some Ballroom and Latin dancers can feel paralysed by choice, “Where do I step? What does my partner expect? Will I crash into someone?.... Sequence Dancing is the antidote.
Sequence Dancing offers a reassuring framework that allows confidence, flair and individuality to bloom. The steps are always the same and as everyone is following the same sequence, you never have to worry about negotiating obstacles on your way across the dancefloor. This standardised system, by its very nature, eliminates a variety of risks.
Everyone starts together, everyone moves in the same direction, everyone finishes together. The result, a profound shared sense of community and a complete absence of floor-navigation anxiety. It’s brilliant.
Your brain, by the way, adores this. Learning a Sequence is a magnificent cognitive workout disguised as a social engagement. And the steps never change. Once learned, a routine is yours for life… a social dance passport valid on any cruise ship, in any ballroom, anywhere in the world!
Many dancers ‘borrow’ sequence steps and insert them into their own dancing so learning Sequence Dance is a great way to inject quality into your Ballroom and Latin dancing too.
