Making Connections from Home > Dance

Dance is a great way to enjoy yourself – whether as a beginner, or if you have already learnt to dance. Although we might associate dancing with being at a class or in a club, at home we need to find a suitable space, and then to decide what else you need: music, a tutor, perhaps a partner.

It can be equally inspiring to watch great dancers in action and there are some wonderful online videos or live-streamed performances available.

Here are some useful resources to enjoy dance at home.
