Alans Dance Room

Alan is a social dancer who enjoys teaching absolute beginners, some basic dance moves.

This channel contains a series of short videos where Alan uses his own experiences to help people learn to dance gradually in the comfort of their homes without undue pressure.

There are many people who are reluctant to attend or who have been intimidated by formal dance lessons.
Alan explains to the viewer the root causes of their reluctance and attempts to avoid those common pitfalls. In summary, Alan believes that most beginner dance instruction is too complicated for most newcomers. Beginners are expected to rapidly and simultaneously understand several aspects of dancing with little or no explanation of the fundamentals. Many then become frustrated and give up too soon.

Alan's approach is to teach each aspect of dancing separately and then gradually bring them together.

The goal is slowly introduce newcomers to the basics of dance and prepare them to take more formal dance instruction.
