I'm learning Indian Fusion Dance at Infusion Dance Studios this session. I went in with no expectations except that I'd be doing fusion dance on a classical song. I was pleasantly surprised that it wasn't the case. So far, I'm happy with the progress and the overall level of the class. It's challenging, but also not too overwhelming to suck the fun out of the experience.
I especially like the instructors teaching style, relaxed approach yet firm on the technique. One of the giveaways from the last class focused on the 'core'. I've been hearing that a lot... everywhere. In fitness, it meditation, in dance. However, I really saw it in action at my most recent dance class. It's vital to engage the core in every dance move. It is ultimately the 'core' that keeps the dance move from looking trashy. The control allows you to incorporate elegance and finesse in each move and each step. Besides, having a strong core is the first step in building a strong body. It's one of those things that hurt a lot at first but lay off big dividends later.
