Modern Dance
Roy began dancing as a young teen, both to try something new and express himself as an introverted person. Now, dance remains a large part of his life as a way to connect with others and capture moments.
It’s all about movement.
Dance is a great hobby to dip your toes into. You don’t need to buy anything or go anywhere. You can start right in your room.
There’s so many forms too. Most popular now is hip hop, house, and modern dance. So much to try, so much to learn!
Rules.
Only if you want.
Unless you’re keen on learning a choreography or being a purist to a specific form of dance, there are no rules to what dance is.
Think of it as a way to move your body to your liking. Maybe you do want to look choreographed or it’s more about feeling free and fluid to you.
How to
begin dancing.

As silly as it sounds, that’s what dance basically is. Moving your body and letting it speak. Put on some music you already like and see what your mind and body does. You probably already do it! Who doesn’t like moving a little when their favorite track comes on?

If you’re reading this, you have access to the internet and the internet has a wealth of dance videos for you to try dancing alongside. There are many led by real dance instructors for you to be guided by. You can do all this by yourself in the comfort of your room.
