How to learn to dance rock?

Rock is one of the most practiced dances in Spain.  The great thing about this style is that, even as a beginner, you can chain several steps together and have the feeling of rock dancing. It is also a popular style for couples, because they can dance various choreographies together.

Would you be interested in learning this type of dance? Although it may seem complicated at first, you can still get up to speed once you learn the basics of rock . Afterwards, you can create your own style according to the steps you do: or simpler or more complicated.

And where do I start to rock dance?

First, you need to know that the rock most danced and learned in dance courses is six-beat rock. Also, there is four-beat rock, which is easier to learn. What is the main difference between the two? The movements of the legs.

• Four-beat rock is danced to four-beat music (forgive the redundancy). Each time is marked with a foot. You simply have to move your feet to the beat of the music.
• Six-beat rock is danced to six-beat music. However, the dancers have to do eight props in these six beats. Therefore, it is a fast and dynamic style.

To learn six-beat rock, you have to focus on your feet and learn the basic steps. To get used to making eight supports, it would be necessary to count: 1, 2, 3 and 4, 5, and 6. The two remaining supports would be in the y’s .

The first two beats belong to rock step. The following times will allow you to take three steps to the left and then to the right.

To be able to dance automatically and fluently, you have to assimilate these foot movements well. Afterwards, you can start enjoying with your dance partner while discovering new rock steps. They number in the thousands! It is not known exactly how many steps there are! Some are very complex, but others are much easier.

You will see that from the first rock class you can enjoy dancing with steps adapted to your level.

If you want to learn rock, you have several possibilities. You can choose the one that best suits you by schedule (or by budget):

• Private dance classes: this modality is perfect if you are looking for a teacher who is a pedagogue and gives you personalized advice. The private classes are designed specifically for you, adapted to your needs and requests.
• Rock classes in a dance school: a very interesting solution to practice regularly in a relaxed atmosphere.
• Dance courses: an intensive course is ideal to prepare an event, such as the opening of the dance on your wedding day.
• A dance association: it is a very interesting option to find very affordable prices and facilities close to your home. How to learn to dance rock?
