Article: How to Get Better Faster
You commonly hear people ask, "How long have you been dancing?"
How long is not as important as how often.
Everyone misses sessions. If you only dance once a week and you miss sessions now and then, you may only average dancing two or three times a month. Your progress is slow because you forget what you learned last time.
If you dance twice a week and you miss a couple of sessions, you still may go 6 or 7 times a month. You keep progressing because you reinforce what you learned and add something new.
You get better faster when you dance twice a week and faster still if you can dance three or more times a week. What you may never achieve in years, you can accomplish in a relatively short time if you dance frequently.
That is why we have the All U Can Dance program, to let you dance more often, so you can learn more dances and get better faster.
