Importance of Variations in Dance & How can you develop your own Style through it?

Shijin Ramesh / Jan 21, 2021

Are you really looking into the way you are practicing your Dance steps?

Are you still practicing it in the same way it has been taught in your online class?

If yes, then you are restricting your growth as a creative Dancer.

In this blog, I want to make you all understand the importance of Variations in Dance or I could say different style of executing your moves. This is something I have learnt & understood through my experience as a teacher, my own way of practicing and have always emphasized on the importance of the same during my class. 

Whenever I used to teach any step or move at my class, I always ensured to show them different style of executing those steps which I call it as variations in Dance. Variations are something that I consider very important because it helps you in exploring your mind & creativity. It can be done either through creatively thinking on that particular Dance step or through the art of freestyling where you let your body language to explore through the flow. I recommend the latter one as it will help you to understand your approach as well in freestyling. It is through this process we can find our own unique style of dancing because style is the most important element in Dance. It is your own unique style which is going to make you stand out amongst all the dancers. You can easily validate this fact by considering examples of famous Dance personalities like MJ, Hrithik Roshan, Madhuri Dixit & many more. There is a reason why we love watching them perform every time because of their own unique style which they have developed through regular practice and creative thinking. So, as a Dancer, its necessary to understand your body language and explore it in different ways to come up with your own style. 

If we restrict ourselves just by the way we have been taught in our class then we are actually restricting our growth in dancing. So, as a learner, its our responsibility to work on different ways of performing those steps if we really want to enhance our dancing skills. Practicing and improvising in the right direction with right efforts is important rather than just following the static way of practicing. As a Dance educator, I have come up with a small video on our YouTube channel where I have explained it with few examples for a better understanding for all the Dance learners.
