How I Learned To Street Dance
I used to be a club rat in San Francisco. No Joke. It was a blast. I knew everyone at this club called Club X. I went there every Friday night for a few years. I came with new moves every week, watched and learned from great street dancers that night, and practiced when I left the club. It was awesome and completely unreal!
I had to take risks and put myself out there regularly. You would not believe the skills the dancers had at this club. I started off with a very limited amount of “moves.” But I learned to steal moves from other dancers. Even if I had just seen the move that night, I made a point to do that move over and over again to make it a part of my dance vocabulary. The next week, I would come back and add more to my memory.
It has been a good amount of time since I have been a regular club rat, but since then the moves have stuck to my memory. I did them so regularly and so often that they became a part of me. Plus, I developed my own style and learned what I need to do with a dance move to make it fit me better. Since there is always more to learn and the process is fun, my desire to go out dancing regularly again is big. All I have to do is go out and have a great time.
That’s how I learned to street dance.
