I know that there are some dancers who don't believe in taking classes.
I can tell you that they're wrong; dancing is all about the non-verbal
communication that goes on between two dancers, especially when the music
is loud and you can't hear each other speak. When dancing, you have to
make sure you're speaking the same "language" as your partner so you can
dance together. Take dance classes to learn that language.
