Is Dance a Combination of Steps?

Are Dance Schools Step Training Institutes?

Recently I had to chuckle heartily over my thoughts, as someone asked me how I can remember all the dance steps, and whether we as a dance school see ourselves as a step training institute.

The idea alone of a "step training institute" gave me a chill down my back. Most dance teachers don't want to reduce dance to just steps. Feeling, harmony, balance, joy of life, readiness, openness, tolerance, energy and elegance are messages we want to convey. How can all this be reduced to steps?

But then I asked myself: What is a step?

Each step is waiting to be enacted in full joy,

the first step of every road

the first dance step of every dance.

After every fight awaits the first step towards reconciliation.

The ability to put one step in any direction.

A step can be full of anxiety, another full of confidence.

A bold move, a new step, a smart move, an elegant step, a harmonious step,

together or alone, separately or together ...

So I had the idea that our lives are composed of many steps, each idea needs a first step to be implemented and become real.

The more variety of steps there are, the more interesting life is  - the bolder the steps tried, the more exciting is the road.

So we are happy to be a "step training institute" in this way.

We wish everyone a wonderful and "step-rich" ball season, because dance moves life.
