What is the difference between social and competitive dancing? Our studio has both social and competitive dancing, it really depends on the persons goals and what they particularly want in their dancing!
Social dancing is a popular category which is great if you are just starting and dipping your toes in the water of dancing. Social dancing is more relaxed, danced in a easier atmosphere, more easy going, and primarily focuses on socializing. Plenty of times in social groups or parties it in popular to switch partners and lead and follow. It’s a great way to mingle and get to know people around that love to dance!
Competitive dancing is when you want to take your dancing to another level and begin competing on the dance sport circuit. Most competitions are divided in levels and categories which you would compete either with a professional instructor or a dance partner. You will perform your choreographed routines to dance music, get judged, and receive placements. Typically as you go up in levels the steps and patterns get more challenging! Competitive dancing is a great way to get involved in a whole other level!
Here at imperial Ballroom offer both styles and typically we suggest all beginners to start social and see how they feel! Once you catch that dancing bug you can decide whether or not you want to stick to social, or go competitive!
