Ever wondered how to dance but felt like you were born with two left feet? Worry not! You don’t have to be a professional dancer to have a good time on the dance floor. In fact, learning simple moves can be the best way to start building confidence.  

 

Whether you’re preparing for a night out, or a party, or just want to impress your friends (or maybe even yourself), we’ve got you covered with some easy moves to get started. These simple moves are perfect for beginners, and we’ll even share some tips for seasoned dancers to help you improve while dancing in the comfort of your own home with Rambert Plus. 

 

The Step-Touch

This move is as simple as it sounds—step to the side, then bring the other foot to meet it. It’s a great move for beginners, it’s easy to master and adds a little groove to any song. You can vary it by adding arm movements, so you don’t just feel like you’re stepping around. Want to take it up a notch? Try adding a little bounce to your step, and you’ll feel like a pro in no time. Caution: this is also a classic dad dance move but if you own it – you’ll be the coolest dad on the dancefloor! 

Tip: Practice this simple dance move while listening to your favorite playlist. The rhythm will help you naturally stay in sync. 

The Grapevine

If you’ve seen a line dance, you’ve probably seen the grapevine—and no, it’s not a fancy dance club or grape-based beverage. The grapevine is one of the best dance moves for building confidence and is super easy once you get the hang of it. Start by stepping to one side with one foot, crossing the other foot behind, then stepping to the side again. It’s like walking in a zigzag motion but with a bit of style. 

Tip: Try practicing in front of a mirror to see how your dance movements look. It’ll help you refine the steps and build muscle memory. 

The Two-Step

The two-step is a good move to add to your repertoire. Simply step to the side with one foot, then bring the other foot in. It’s simple, effective, and works with almost any style of music. You can slow it down or speed it up depending on the song you’re dancing to, making it the perfect move for all levels of experience. 

Tip: Add your flavor by swaying your arms to match the rhythm, or throw in a little shoulder shimmy to keep things fun and fresh. 

The Body Roll

The body roll is a fun dance move that anyone can do with just a little practice. Start by pushing your chest forward, followed by your midsection, and then your hips. The key is to create a smooth wave-like motion that looks effortless. The body roll might take a few tries to perfect, but once you get it, you’ll feel like a dancing superstar. 

Tip: Practice in front of a mirror or with a friend so you can get the right flow. This move works wonders to impress at parties.

 

The Hip Hop Bounce

One of the viral dance moves that is popular in a lot of hip-hop routines is the hip-hop bounce. It’s simple yet energetic, and once you get the basic rhythm, you can add your flair to it. Start by bending your knees slightly and bouncing up and down with the beat of the music. This move works especially well with upbeat songs, and it’s a great way to get your body moving with confidence. 

Tip: Try to stay loose and relaxed—tension in the body can throw off your dance movements and make it harder to groove. Keep it chill and enjoy the rhythm.

 

Quick Tips for Dancers: 

Stay Loose: Don’t overthink your dance moves. The more relaxed you are, the easier it is to move to the music. 

Have Fun: Dance movements are meant to be enjoyable. The more you let go, the more you’ll enjoy it. 

Take It Slow: If you’re learning a dance routine, break it down into smaller steps. Slow it down, master the moves, and then build up the speed.
