Dance Classes in Cape Town: The Mother City

Cape Town is known for being a more relaxed city than Johannesburg or Durban.

However, Capetonians certainly know how to step up the pace on the dancefloor. 

If you are new to the city and are looking to get footloose, venture no further than Long Street. Long Street is a tourist destination that is home to some of the best bars, taverns and clubs that Cape Town has to offer.

If the sounds that are buzzing through the speakers at Sgt. Pepper don't get you to tap your feet while munching on a delicious pizza; we surely don't know what will.

Several other Cape Town clubs also understand the value of dancing and invite locals and internationals to shake the night away. Arcade Café is another pizza joint that turns into a hot spot for drinks and dancing at night. Arcade situated on Bree Street believes that "youth has no age," and this slogan is shown by all the older people busting some moves on the dance floor. Shimmy Beach Club combines an incredible setting of a poolside venue with resident DJ Black Coffee entertaining enthusiastic dancers who decorate the dance floor gloriously.

So while the clubs in the town allow dance lovers to adopt a more carefree dance style, Cape Town dance schools advocate a more structured form of dancing. The Enerchi dance studio in Cape Town is a decade old and started because of a dream.

The dream of the duo who started the business was to give people of all ages the chance to come together and learn an eclectic mix of fusion dance styles. Anthony Rau and Danielle Fish started this dynamic dance studio. Enerchi’s dance teaching team includes internationally renowned dancers offering the best syllabi possible.

At Enerchi, Latin American, ballroom dancing, line dancing and the Argentine tango are provided to those who want to shake a leg.

Several Reasons to Choose Cape Town for Dance Lessons

Why do you want to learn to dance in Cape Town?

Are there any actual benefits of learning the salsa, hip-hop, or Indian Kathak dance?  

Well, do you enjoy dancing?

Is dancing a part of your tradition?

We all dance from time to time. Whether it be at family functions or for fun, dancing is a part of who we are and our cultures.

Dancing comes instinctively. When a song you like plays on the radio, you automatically feel your feet moving to the beat. It has been proven that dancing makes you feel happier and healthier too.

Like other exercise forms, dancing keeps you fit and in shape. Current research has even pointed out that dancing for about an hour or two during the week is a way of combining both physical and mental exercise.

Funnily enough, research also suggests that dancing tends to improve the cognitive functioning of older people.  So, will you say that dance makes you feel younger too?

Aside from the apparent benefits of dance as a gentler workout, dance is a way to improve social skills.

When attending dance lessons in Cape Town, you will naturally need to interact with your dance instructor and other dancers so thus building your social skills in the process.

If you are an introvert, dancing may very well be your way of coming out of your shell. Learning specific steps and perfecting them in front of others can reduce performance anxiety.

In keeping up with the trend of coming out of your shell, you can spend an enjoyable evening out in the town—an evening out with some of your friends from dance class.

Asoka allows you to indulge in the decadent combination of food and music. Asoka is centrally located and asks of nothing but that you enjoy drinks and music. What better way to cool off in Cape Town after a long week of dance practise?
