Using 5-6-7-8 separates the preparation from the dance itself, which always starts on count 1.

• Dance music is typically structured in groups of four beats, called bars or measures.
• Choreography is often phrased in groups of eight counts, spanning two musical bars.
• Counting 5-6-7-8 alerts everyone that the choreography will start on the next beat 1.

Think of 5-6-7-8 as a countdown that ends right before the action begins.

A private dance lesson in Ipswich generally runs about £15/h.

This price can vary depending on several factors:

• Your current ability (newcomer through to experienced dancer)
• The teacher's experience and qualifications (professional credentials, performance history)
• The length and frequency of your sessions
• How you take classes (virtual sessions, home visits or studio-based tuition)

Opting for online lessons can also reduce fees while keeping quality high.

Street dance and hip-hop appeal to beginners who enjoy energetic, freestyle movement.

• These Latin styles build confidence fast because the basic step loops continuously.
• Commercial or street dance classes break down popular moves from music videos.
• Ballet and contemporary build posture, core strength and body control over time.

Start with a taster class in two or three styles to discover what feels natural.
