Sometimes it's not possible or convenient to take dance lessons at a studio, no matter how much you want to learn to waltz, breakdance or tango. There may be no dance studios near you, or you may not have time to make it to a class one or more days a week. Online dance instruction can satisfy your interest in a new form of dance or a commitment to a current one anytime.
Instructions
Choose a Dance Discipline
1. Decide which style you want to study. Consider your dance habits and preferences. Are you drawn to couples, line or freestyle dancing?
2. Know which singles discipline you want to study. Lower-level ballet can be done without a partner, and country and hip-hop line dances can be studied alone. Consider belly dancing, jazz and tap as well.
3. Know which couples discipline you want to study. When you watch dancers on TV or in clubs, do you prefer ballroom dances such as waltz or foxtrot over the Latin salsa or cha cha? Watch an instructional DVD such as "Ballroom and Latin Dance Sampler" at Amazon that demonstrates several to help you decide (see Resources below).
Take Online Dance Lessons
4. Check online for instruction in the discipline you like best. Websites such as idance.com offer an inexpensive package of progressive lessons (see Resources below). Try one of their freebies, then enroll if you like what you find.
5. Find a dance partner or practice alone, and enjoy moving from class to class with online lessons.
