Learn to Dance - in English!

 Welcome to Hungary, the home of the most unlearnable language of Europe!

Most foreigners who come to live here for an extended period have difficulty in finding places and people to socialize with - many of them end up dancing: the ultimate socializing tool. Many foreign students, expats, multinational company reps, even diplomats attend classes in our studio already, so we made a decision to start courses specifically for foreigners who speak little or no Hungarian. All such courses are for social dances, however if you don't have a partner, we don't expect you to find one on your own - actually, we'd like our classes to be an opportunity for you to meet others who left their home countries for shorter or longer periods to live here. Of course, there are many other reasons to dance:

Many people are either unsure or just plainly scared to learn dancing. Especially men. While dancing (even learning dancing) is a great opportunity to meet people, contemporary popular culture always placed greater and greater emphasis on the "party" part rather than the "people" part, leaving most musical social events much less social than it was a century ago. If meeting (drunken) people amidst blaring music and visual effects while not being able to interact with them is not your style, then you'll most likely enjoy a bit of social dancing. All couple dances implicitly mean community and a very good opportunity (or alibi) to meet new people, where you actually choose the form and level of your involvement: just a dance, because you enjoy it; just some talking, because you don't want anything else; meeting some friends, because you like their company; or maybe meeting the love of your life. Social dancers are usually not great drinkers (after the second glass of wine you'll find it very difficult to lead or follow) and mostly upper-middle class folks, only a small minority of them are smokers.



Why Dancing?

According to Áron:

  • you'll understand relationships and feelings much better (including your own...),
  • it helps to face your self-assurance and the lack of it: successful people didn't get their winner's charm ready made, they'd developed it...
  • you'll get rid of a lot of anxiety: want it or not, you will learn how to handle the other sex,
  • at last, there will be no equation between "going out" and "having a beer with some colleagues",
  • if you feel you are not Pierce Brosnan, you'll learn that it is not the face from a Gillette ad that makes a girl interested,
  • keep in mind: this is the second best thing you can do with a woman...
According to Anikó:
  • at last you'll learn how to move in stilettos,
  • you can get dates without even trying, or
  • make your relationship more interesting, more colourful,
  • you can gradually shape your body (you'll loose weight: dancing burns lots of calories),
  • you can always find new friends,
  • dancing is another reason to expand your wardrobe,
  • dance improves your sense of rythm, something you'll find very handy in a different (although, not necessarily so different) aspect of life,
  • it will teach you how to be graceful, foxy, meek or passionate... or all of this at the same time.
