Learning the Steps and Choreography
For this month’s choreography, you will be learning a romantic choreography to the song. “Thinking Out Loud” by Ed Sheeran. We will be reviewing some old moves that you’ve learned previously as well as learning new moves that will spice up your dancing even more! You are welcome to dance it to any song that has a similar tempo. Feel free to use our playlist to practice. Also, we encourage you to be creative with the moves that you’ve learned. You can mix and match the steps and create a dance pattern that both you and your partner enjoy. Have fun dancing!
