How to do the dip dance move
How to dip like the pros! — Sway Dance Chicago
Written By David Sanchez
One of our favorite dance moves is the iconic dip and so many of our students are eager to learn how to dip their partners and be dipped in a dance routine.
However, there are a few things to know before you dazzle the audience with a dip. So, here are our pro TIPS for Pro DIPS.
First, learn the proper dance frame.
Before attempting a dip, make sure you are standing properly with your partner in the correct dance frame. That means your arms should be held strong.
The leaders' left hand should be connected to follower’s right, or supporting followers behind their back for extra security.
The followers should rest their left arm on leader’s right arm just below the shoulder without weight.
Our instructors will assist you in getting into the proper dance frame before attempting a dip. Just remember, dancing with a partner is not a 50-50 game. BOTH the leader and the follower need to be giving 100% effort for a solid dip.
To Lead a Dip...
Don’t bend forward! Instead stand straight up and rotate your upper body. Otherwise, you both risk dipping and well… falling.
Support behind your partner’s shoulders and back.
Keep your arms firm and in front of your partner's body. Don’t push your arms into their space.
Step with a bent knee under and toward the follower to dip.
Read social cues! That means don’t dip your partner if they’re not 100% comfortable.
Be aware of your surroundings. You won’t want to dip your partner in an area where they could get hurt.
To Follow a Dip...
Support your own weight in your legs and core muscles. In other words, don’t rely entirely on your partner to hold you up.
Soften your knees, relax your neck and shoulders.
Trust your partner instead of tensing up, making it harder for them to dip you.
Communicate with your partner if you’re uncomfortable going into a dip.
Don’t rush in or out of the dip. Allow your partner to truly lead the way and lean into the fun of it!
When should we dip?
Overall, there are a few foolproof ways to know when to dip your partner.
Dip when it's safe. Check your surroundings, especially at a crowded club and dance floor, to make sure your partner won’t get hurt if you decide to dip.
Dip when the music tells you to. Wait until the end of the song or an accent in the music. Then, especially in a performance if your dip is at the end of a song, hold your watermelons! Wait 1 watermelon - 2 watermelon - 3 watermelon before releasing out the dip. Soak in the applause!
Dip when your partner appears comfortable. Make sure you’re communicating with your partner, either by feeling their body language or expressly asking whether they’d be ok with a dip.
Feel each other out and make sure both partners are ready!

Initial deep house dance lessons. How to learn to dance street dance
Everyone wants to feel confident on the dance floor in the club. No incendiary party is complete without a house dance. Thanks to his energy and positivity, he turns on both the performer and the audience.
House dance originated in the 1980s in clubs in Chicago. At the same time, the music of the same name arose. Rhythmic body movements fascinated the regulars and kings of parties throughout the city. Later, the Hausa movements could not be resisted by New Yorkers. Now, the whole of Europe is learning the elements of an interesting and popular style.
Let's look at the basic moves of house and succumb to its stunning rhythm.
Video lesson "House dance"
House is a mix of movements of different dance styles. It includes elements of tap, latin, breakdance, jazz, hip-hop and disco.
Isn't it an interesting combination?
The dance technique has changed over time. At first, there were sharp and aggressive movements of the body, the whole body was kept in tension. Later, they were replaced by soft movements of the legs, relaxed and free vibrations of the body. The style and manner of dance changes in step with the times and is constantly being improved. Probably, this is what he won the hearts of modern dancers.
IMPORTANT. Before starting a workout, you need to warm up the muscles so as not to injure them.
Basic moves House:
- Pas De Bourree. Consists of 3 steps, legs alternate (left-right-left or right-left-right).
- Criss Cross. We cross our legs, alternating them (movements are performed wide, voluminous and springy).
- Step House. Consists of 2 movements: put the heel forward and return to its original position.
By combining movements and adding a drop of energy and positive to them, you will undoubtedly have a positive effect on others.
Do not be afraid of experiments, free movements of the arms and body will only complement the dance. Good luck with your learning!
The popular dance house (House) appeared in the disco era of the 70s and 80s of the 20th century. House is built, first of all, on the complete control of your body and energy. It is released in an explosive wave or carefully restrained.
Differences of house from other styles. House is often confused with other dances, however, it has its own unique history and characteristics. The reasons for the similarity lie, most likely, in the partial coincidence of some elements from other dance cultures. Many consider house a direct descendant of hip-hop, but, in fact, this is not so. Hip-hop, of course, influenced the formation of house, brought many elements and emotions to it, but significant changes in music in the 80s played the main role in the emergence of house. House is woven from a variety of styles, but does not have clear canons of movement performance at its core.
House was born on the basis of Old School Hip-hop and many elements from other styles. To date, there are various varieties in house: jacking (body work), footwork (footwork), stomping (jumping elements), lofting (parterre work), as well as stocking - playing with a partner.
But the basis of the dance is precisely the individual perception of music by the dancer, his feelings and emotions - it is no coincidence that the style did not have the original name and was simply designated as Freestyle dancing.
One of the best dancers in New York, Ejoe Willson, says that "what makes hayc different from hip-hop is that when you dance hayc, you subordinate your body to the music itself, and not to the musical beat, as in hip-hop."
Feelings, emotions, sensations are very important in Hausa. It should be noted that house is still more of a club dance than a theatrical one, so the technical execution of all movements is considered the main one. House helps to improve the dancer's flexibility, balance and physical abilities.
House catches the eye of the public with its energy and fun atmosphere. The features of this dance make it one of the most popular at any party.
As in any other style, House Dance also includes improvisation, where each dancer can express himself.
If you look at the video of the performances of house dancers, you can see that they have a unique quality and perform all movements easily and seem to spring on their feet. The speed of the dance performance speaks for itself, since energetic music with smooth transitions requires the realization of wide plastic abilities.
House dance culture implies that each dancer perceives music in his own way and expresses his perception in dance movements. House is based on several modern original trends. Initially, house was positioned as freestyle - this is the art of energetic street dance, which, first of all, allows the dancer to express his feelings and emotions following the perception of music.
On the dance floor in all its glory, for others - a love for such dances and a desire to develop in this area, for example, create your own team or become a coach. In the first case, it will be enough for you to watch video lessons and repeat after the teacher. In the second case, it is better to choose a school where professional performance is taught, and also do not forget to learn as much as possible about such directions.
Why are they called street?
Ironically, ballet and salsa can also be adapted to this style. Street dances - assorted from a variety of directions. They are not danced in choreographic halls, but are performed in the yards of schools and institutes, in nightclubs and on the streets. The main thing in them is to reveal the individuality, express the character, feelings of the dancer and show his uniqueness. Therefore, be sure to try street dancing at home, perhaps it will become your life's work.
Street dance styles
Hip-Hop - less aggression and more freedom of expression.
The fine jumping technique is what sets him apart from others.
Free Style - as you can see from the name, there are no hard and fast rules. Relaxed improvisation and combination of movements to your taste are the basis of the style.
New Jack - acrobatics included.
Pop Locking is a synchronized dance that requires a lot of stamina.
Dab Step - dance to the music of the same name. Combines a mix of all areas of street dancing.
Locking - movements in full force and maximum dedication. Reversals, swings, rotations are presented.
House - in this style, the body is subordinate to the melody, while in hip-hop you are subordinate to the musical beat.
R&B - "Rhythm and Blues" is more complex and complex than hip-hop.
Trance is a dance not only of the body, but also of the soul.
How to street dance at home
1. Choose loose clothing and comfortable shoes. Nothing should interfere and annoy.
2.
To understand faster, listen to more music of the desired direction, listen to the rhythm.
3. The most important thing in achieving success is desire, diligence and diligence. Don't stop there, even if you don't see results (yet). If you study with a teacher, do not compare yourself with him. Naturally, he will dance better than you. The main thing is to compare yourself with your previous results.
4. How to learn to dance street dancing and where to start? Learn the basic steps first. This will be the base. But before that, determine the style that you like. If you want to develop sexuality - stop at R&B, if you want to relax and have fun - Hip-Hop can become your style, if you want striptease, but more chaste - choose Go-Go, Locking will help increase stamina and improve physical fitness.

House
Dance appeared along with the musical direction of the same name.
Its characteristic features are dynamism, constant movement of the whole body and special footwork, which, as it were, build a certain pattern on the floor. Body movements can be both smooth, wavy, and sharp and very intermittent. House is various combinations of three basic movements (a characteristic swaying of the torso, a peculiar technique of rearranging the legs and sharp movements of the arms) and, of course, a lot of improvisation.
Don't expect this dance to be a thing of the past. Sexy body movements to rhythmic music will never go out of style. If you have no idea or vaguely remember what this R&B is and what it looks like, remember Beyoncé in her Single Ladies video - this is exactly it. The dance is full of expression and feelings, and, despite its characteristic rhythmic movements, the overall pattern of the dance is plastic and smooth.
Dancehall
The history of this dance begins in sultry Jamaica, where it was danced back in 1970s to the thunder of drums and loud songs.
Today, the dancehall has gone beyond South America and moved to the most popular dance floors in the world, as well as to the clips of many famous performers. The main movement of the dance is vigorous rotation of the hips and special wave-like movements of the body. Basically, dancehall is something like a combination of hip-hop and R&B. But only a hundred times hotter.
Go-go is a dance of girls who set the rhythm for visitors in clubs. Usually they stand on the podiums and movements that rise above the dance floor and raise the degree of looseness and fun with their drive. Go-go is a very peculiar and characteristic dance. It is easy to learn and quite simple to learn, but keep in mind that it requires a certain amount of physical fitness and takes a lot of energy. No wonder the go-go dancers are all model-like. For an hour of such dances, you can work out not a single dessert.
Deephouse. Turning a monotonous playlist into a dynamic and enjoyable one
We were asked to make a modern, active and trendy playlist.
A deep house suits this task, but for some this style is “monotonous swotting”.
Muzlab explains if this is true and how to diversify a playlist that seems boring.
Deephouse is not swotting. But not music for meditation either
People who are not connected with music usually think that deep house sounds in the rhythm of “pump-pump” and that you can dance to it until you drop. This is not true. If you hear this, know that the author of these words confuses deephouse with other subgenres of house, such as electro, techno, trance and club.
House where deep house grew up
House is a big electronic dance genre, it has many styles: disco, electro, progressive, acid. This is the home of dream, minimal, electro, tropical, disco, trance, techno and deep house - and that's not all styles.
Classical house has a clear repetitive rhythm, it can be counted as one-two-three-four - one-two-three-four.
House sounds more dynamic than its sister styles, including active electro house. The pace is medium, medium-fast, from 118 to 130 BPM.
The hallmark of the house is sound inserts, they are also samples that coincide with the rhythm and are repeated from time to time in the composition. At the same time, the structure of the house is rigid and clear.
If musicians change the solid structure of a genre, then a new style emerges within it. For example, deephouse.
Deep house room and its essence
The 80s, when house appeared, was a time for musical experiments. At the same time, Chicago house succumbed to fashion and sounded soft, so it was transformed into a new style - deep house. It happened because musicians and DJs wanted to update dance music and stand out from the crowd, so they experimented with new sounds, created complex remixes and added deep bass to the tracks.
Deephouse has something from funk, synthpop, disco, jazz, ambient and even soul music.
It sounds deeper and more atmospheric than house, its sound is light and pulsating. At the same time, a minimum of musical elements are used in the deep house, and usually vocal chants are used in the compositions, which are processed with voice overs to stylize the voice for electronic sound.
Modern deep has a complex electronic melody, it sounds easy and calm. This style is reminiscent of ambient and soul. The melody in the deep house is monotonous, there is no development in it. Since there is no climax, it feels like the composition sounds drawn out and relaxed. The instruments, such as the electric organ, and the vocals are built into the melody smoothly and elegantly.
Dip differs from other house styles in its surround sound, deep bass, and clear rhythm. It features vocal refrains and live instruments in an arrangement. Thanks to a clear rhythm, you can dance to a dipchik.
Usually deep sounds in the range - from 120 to 125 BPM, sometimes it drops or rises a little.
To make it easy for the reader to understand what we mean, let's take Russian deep house as an example — the tracks of Elena Temnikova, who is called the queen of Russian deep house.
"Not trendy" - thanks to the heavy bass, the track sounds like a "dark deep house". The tempo of the composition is medium, 110 BPM.
City Pulse is 120 BPM, lighter, no longer bass-heavy, and better for dancing.
Dance playlist suitable for business
The listener may be right: if you pick up a monotonous deep house, it will tire you - monotonous music without a climax, electronic instruments and processed vocals. To revive the playlist, music editors suggest adding classic house, lively funk and light dance-pop to it.
House, funk and dance-pop, even if they are created at the same tempo, have different lengths of sounds. In addition, they have different basses and percussive accents, so listeners perceive the music as dynamic and varied.
