Dance is one of the most multi-purpose skills out there. What else can you use in the club and as a workout? Lots of people learn to dance in structured settings like studios, but with the prevalence of the internet, many resources like videos and online communities for support, anyone can learn to dance at home.
How to Learn to Dance at Home
Want to improve your moves? Follow these steps to learn to dance at home:
1. Select a style
Start by deciding what style of dance you want to learn. There are tons out there — individual dance styles like ballet, jazz, and hip hop, and partner styles like ballroom and salsa. Definitely figure out what type you're interested in before you get started, which will make it easier to find the best resources.

2. Decide on technique or routine
Next, decide whether you want to learn basic technique or a specific dance. Most dance styles have foundational movements that trained dancers practice repeatedly to build their strength, endurance, and skill. However, some folks who are just learning for fun might prefer learning a specific dance, like Lil Uzi Vert's Futsal Shuffle rather than just practicing the basics.
3. Find the right video

Now's the time to find your teacher: A video.
There are tons of fantastic vids out there from professional dancers, teachers, musicians, and amateurs to help you learn to dance. Lots of websites offer classes, tutorials, or tips for burgeoning dancers — some are free and some cost money. If you're looking for a technique class, search for something like "hip hop dance class." If you want to learn a specific dance, search for the name of the dance along with "tutorial," like "Chicago Cell Block Tango tutorial."
4. Warm up

Before you dance, it's important you warm up. Get your heart rate up and your muscles warm by jogging in place. Do some stretching like touching your toes and opening your hips to loosen up. Most dance styles require a bit of flexibility, so focus on a few exercises that will help lengthen tight muscles before you get going.
5. Do the lesson
Finally, it's time to dance! Play your video, and get moving! If you're using a smart TV, keep the remote nearby so you can pause and rewind when you need to see a step again.
If you're using your phone or laptop, keep it close by for the same reason. Don't be afraid to do the same step or section a few times over — some steps take longer than others to master.
Tip: Try the moves in front of a mirror next to your video so you can see how you look.
6. Practice
They say it takes 10,000 hours to master a new skill — don't give up! Keep practicing with the same video and new videos with other teachers to get better at your dance. You'll see improvement the more you work at it.

Best Resources to Learn How to Dance
The internet is an amazing place. So many resources exist for people to master dance at home. Consider these top learn-to-dance-at-home resources to get started.
Free Options
For a more cost-effective option (though you'll have to do more searching for solid content), try out these guys:
YouTube: YouTube is a great place to start to find dance class videos if you're still figuring out which styles you're interested in learning.
Vimeo: Vimeo has always been a favorite of creative types, so you might be able to find some solid videos there.
Twitch: A newcomer to the user-uploaded video game, but Twitch is a competitor nonetheless. You could find some gems on here!
Where to Start
Totally overwhelmed and not sure which style you should start with? Consider starting with one of the big top three: Ballet, jazz, or hip hop. Almost every other style of dance uses some ballet terminology (yes, even hip hop), so it might be helpful to learn a little ballet before anything else.
Jazz and hip hop are also foundational styles — jazz is the basis for contemporary dance and hip hop informs lots of popular, urban and music video dances. Want a list of a few dance styles to try? You got it. Keep in mind, there are hundreds of different dance styles out there — one of them is absolutely perfect for you!

Lyrics of the song Free Thoughts - Dance translation, lyrics, video, clip
Teach me how to dance like you dance
Teach me how you love to do it,
Spin me around in your pirouettes,
So that the sea of light will spin with us.
Like autumn leaves covered with snow
Dance to questions to all my answers
White will fall, cleanse my soul,
Gray life will break the balance.
Dance is my feelings and confessions,
Sometimes mistakes and despair.
My dance without words, you can read all thoughts
And about what you know, and about what you don't know
Dance of the snow reefs to the rhythms of the heart,
As if in a whirlpool of dance plunging into the abyss,
Burns and intoxicates like a kiss
You hug me tight, we will dance with you
You and I will dance a passionate dance of life,
We'll disappear with you on empty avenues,
Like it's with us and not with us0003 Do not regret anything, do not return anything,
Dance of the moth flying to the flame,
You flap your wing, put out the fire,
I want with my eyes closed
Dance with you all my love
Dance is a bullfight, it's a tango in red Dance on the brink when there is danger,
Dance of eternity, in the web of time
Where wolves and she-wolves dance shadows.
I love your dance and all its movements,
I remember your dance every moment,
I teach mysterious dance signs
And like a ray of light I go to you in the darkness.
Dance is an explosion, an explosion of emotions,
It's like talking in an unfamiliar language.
Dance is a current, a current of touches,
When two people are drawn together by attraction.
Dance is feelings from another world,
And one day you can burn to the ground in it.
Dance is running along the very edge of the sky
Take the first step towards meeting me.
You and I will dance a passionate dance of life,
We'll disappear with you on empty avenues,
As if it is with us and not with us,
Do not regret anything, do not return anything,
Dance of the moth flying to the flame,
You flap your wing, put out the fire,
I want with my eyes closed
Dance with you all my love
Teach me how to dance as you dance
Teach me how you love to do it
Swirl me around in your pirouettes
So that the sea of light spun with us.
Like autumn leaves covered with snow
Dance to questions to all my answers
Will fall out white, cleanse my soul,
Gray life will disturb the balance.
Dance is my feelings and confessions Sometimes mistakes and despair.
My dance without words, you will read all thoughts
And what you know and what you don't know
Snow reef dance to the rhythms of the heart
As if plunging into the abyss of a dance,
It burns and intoxicates like a kiss
You hug me tight, you and I will dance
We'll disappear with you on empty avenues
As if it's with us and not with us
Do not regret anything, nothing to return,
Dance of a moth flying into the flame
Flap your wing put out the fire
I want with my eyes closed
Dance with you all my love
Dance is bullfighting, tango in red
Dance on the edge of the abyss when danger
Dance of eternity, in the web of time
Where the wolf and she-wolves dance shadows.
I love your dance and all its movements,
I remember your dance every moment
I teach mysterious dance signs
And like a ray of light I come to you in the darkness.
Dance is an explosion, an explosion of emotions Like talking in an unfamiliar language.
Dance is a current, a current of touch,
When two are drawn together by attraction.
Dance is feeling from another world
And one day you can burn to ashes in it.
Dance is a run across the sky
Take the first step towards me.
You and I will dance a passionate dance of life,
We'll disappear with you on empty avenues
As if it's with us and not with us
Do not regret anything, nothing to return,
Dance of a moth flying into the flame
Flap your wing put out the fire
I want with my eyes closed
Dance with you all my love
Elon Musk is dancing in the video, and these frames should be in memes
Twitter users share videos of Elon Musk dancing, because the businessman's fans have not seen such a performance for a long time.
The head of SpaceX danced not just anywhere, but at an official event in honor of the deliveries made in Shanghai by Tesla, but the audience did not seem to mind. When else will you see how funny the billionaire is moving.
Tesla and SpaceX CEO, billionaire Twitter and anime fan Elon Musk arrives in Shanghai to celebrate the delivery of his company's first electric cars made in China. The businessman also told viewers who followed his performance at the Tesla Gigafactory 3 (the organization's factory) that he intends to continue investing in car production in China and open an engineering and technology center in the country in the future. Such a project, Musk was quoted by CNBC as saying, would be “very exciting.”
But people who are not interested in technology remember Ilona's dance on stage more. Yes, the businessman arranged a mini-performance for the factory employees. The head of Tesla seemed unable to resist hearing rhythmic music and succumbed to inner inspiration.
How do you like this moonwalk, Michael Jackson?
Following the approval of the crowd, the head of Tesla took off his jacket and elegantly threw it onto the stage.
In general, such a performance is better to see in full and with sound.
Videos with dancing Elon Musk appeared not only on YouTube, but also on Twitter (how could it not be shared). Judging by the video from the viewers, the audience was more than happy with the unexpected dances.
“Now… let’s dance,” wrote Viv.
"Many Chinese have videotaped your dance," Ray Tesla said.
The entrepreneur himself did not become modest and also posted a video on Twitter - the very moment of taking off his jacket, but with Chinese music superimposed. “Tesla Giga in Shanghai, 18+!!!” Musk wrote.

And apparently, the speech of the businessman seemed impressive to someone. “Teach me your dance. I'm serious," the World of Engineering account administrator wrote. “Awesome moves, Elon,” agrees Pranay Pathole. “I love how sincere and clumsy he is. Hero,” Odin tweeted. Well, how could it not be remembered that same meme with Mask and maracas?
The inhabitants of the social network simply couldn't help but joke about Mask breaking away to the music.
Many people agreed that the star dances just like them.
And at the end of December, Musk surprised the inhabitants of the social network by hanging out with Kanye West and Kim Kardashian. People can't unsee the celeb's face, because in the photo it looks like Harold hiding the pain.
Some celebrities in the New Year holidays pleased the fans, but Jeremy Clarkson brought down a ton of criticism. The presenter spoke about the fires in Australia, but his humor turned out to be too black.
