5 benefits of taking an online dance class subscription? 

 

Fancy trying a dance class, but don’t know where to start?   

If you’ve taken in-studio dance classes before, you’ll know they’ve got a lot going for them. Being part of a community. Teacher feedback. Dipping out of work fifteen minutes early to catch the 5pm class (hey, you don’t make the timetable..) But online classes have lots of benefits too, and sometimes can be an even better fit for what you’re trying to achieve. Take a read below to see how online dance classes can work for you.  

 

Choosing your class/try all the styles  

With many dance studios offering a wide range of classes, it can often be hard to know where to start. And if you want to try out a few, this can start to add up when you need to pay for each individual class.   

Enter online classes. With a Rambert Plus subscription, you can take your time reading up on different styles and levels to see what might be the best fit for you, before having to take the plunge. We’ve got a bit of everything, with a variety of styles, lengths, ability levels and intensities: maybe you fancy something to get your heart pumping (how about contemporary groove or dance cardio), something super gentle (hello, chair-based Pilates), or something in between (get heel tapping and thigh slapping in a line dance class)? Maybe you want a class where you learn about the cultural background of the style as you move (check out Sheba’s Caribbean classes). Whatever it is, you can have a go at whatever you’re in the mood for, as much and as often as you like. And if you try out a class and it isn’t quite what you expected, you can just press pause, close your laptop and have a cuppa. Try something else tomorrow, at no extra cost.  

Develop at your own pace 

Once you’ve chosen a class to get started with, you’re in control of what happens next. As all of our classes are recorded, if you need a little extra time with some of the exercises, you can pause, rewind and try again, or even just watch the teacher first before having a go. You can favourite the classes you love to do again later, or bookmark new ones from your favourite teacher to try next – our Rambert dancers are a versatile bunch. Love Aishwarya’s contemporary fusion class? Why not also meditate and move with her in her advanced contemporary? 

Cut the commute 

Oh, the commute. As if travelling to work or school wasn’t bad enough, who wants to travel for their hobbies, too? With online dance classes, all you need is a phone, tablet or laptop and a bit of space (all our classes are designed to be doable in just two metres of space, and some even less for chair-based classes) and you can get involved in the comfort of your own home. 

Choose the time  

Often find that studio classes are either at the crack of dawn, or have you fighting through rush hour  to get there on time (see cut the commute, above)? With online classes, you can be the master of your own schedule. Choose a time that works for you, no matter what time that is. And better yet, with a Rambert Plus subscription, you can pick a length of class that suits you, right from ten minutes to an hour. And  if you’re really squeezed for time, don’t forget you can pause, put the dinner on and come back later .
