Dancing is a unique art form that leaves no one indifferent. As you know, during the time of the nobility, children of representatives of high society, in addition to knowledge of foreign languages, drawing and music, were obliged to be able to dance. Modern people are also encouraged to dance.
Why start dancing
There are many reasons to sign up for your first dance lesson: first of all, it is a health benefit. During training, the body receives an optimal uniformly distributed load - muscles, joints and the cardiovascular system are strengthened. Dancing also helps to improve posture and develop a beautiful gait.
The second reason is an increase in sociability and psychological emancipation. Thanks to dancing, you can become more open, get rid of any complexes and tightness. A new hobby will help to make interesting acquaintances: classes are usually held in groups, there is a high chance of making new friends.
Dancing is inextricably linked with music, and after several classes a person discovers that he began to hear it differently, to feel the rhythm and follow it.
Given all this, many parents tend to send their children to study in dance studios. One such institution is Tequila Dance in St. Petersburg. This dance school is open not only for children, but also for adults.
History of creation
The Tequila Dance studio has been around for a long time - the first branch was opened in January 1996. Initially, it was positioned as a dance school in English, and most of the visitors were foreigners living in St. Petersburg because of work or study. The name "Tequila Dance" did not exist yet - the studio was called "Champion".
A few years later, the school abandoned its original concept - teaching in English has become obsolete, since foreigners living in St. Petersburg knew and understood the Russian language. This attracted many new students to the Champion who were no longer English speakers. The studio was renamed to Tequila Dance.
In 1999, the school joined the local Dance Sports Federation of St. Petersburg, after which performances at the championships began. Pupils of the studio often won prizes, and in many dance areas “Tequila Dance” was the first in the city.
Currently, the studio continues to participate in competitions and conducts various dance events in St. Petersburg.
