How to Learn House Dance Steps
Born out of the dance clubs and discotheques in Chicago, house dancing puts fancy footwork to the beat of bass-pumping house music. This high-energy dance is not only entertaining to watch, but fun to participate in. Of course, like all other forms of dance, house dance takes practice and finesse before you bust your moves out on the dance floor. By slowing down the tempo of your music and using repetition, you can teach yourself house dance steps before you set foot inside any nightclub.
