The Thousands

As far as non-verbal communication goes, you can’t do much better than dancing. Facial expressions are easily misread, ESP is unreliable, and Pictionary’s generally not an option once you leave the house. There’s no mistaking your intentions once you bust out a little disco hustle though, and a potential date who misreads a well-executed pelvic thrust is clearly underachieving and not worthy of your approaches. It’s unfortunate then, that many modern day gentlemen and women have quite limited dance repertoires. We’re guessing that you probably do a jolly good ‘woo, guitars!’ move, a reasonable ‘ironic Beyonce’, and some sort of hilarious Michael Flatley impression, but where to from there? How to express the subtleties of one’s personality on the dance floor?**We suggest that you put yourselves into the capable hands of Dance Studio 101. They forgo more traditional styles of dance for hard-to-find gems like Reggaeton, Samba Axe, and Jamaican Dancehall, and they’ve managed to nab a sweet collection of Sydney’s best teachers. The studio itself is a sight to behold, and they have many an encouraging word for the rhythmically challenged and bashful (we’d know).
