A number of commentators on our YouTube Channel have been asking for this following our Saturday Night Fever disco dancing lesson from lockdown 1.0.

The lesson will start with some basic beginner disco dancing moves. As we go through will look to add in variations as well as increase the number of disco steps. The aim to give you confidence to be able to get up on the dance floor and bust out some moves!

If you’re viewing live on YouTube you will also be able to send questions or comments via the Live Chat feature. We won’t be able to see your video feeds so you’ll need to let us know if there’s anything you’re struggling with or would like to see demonstrated again.

We hope you’ll be able to join us for the disco dance lesson. If you have any questions before our class feel free to drop them in the comments.

With our Under 8’s Rainbow class we normally start with a gentle warm-up, followed by a selection of party dances and then whatever dances we are currently working on – adapted for younger kids.

The aim is to have a few fun elements that teach basic techniques.

The Dances – Ballroom Party Dances

In this class we’ll be teaching you how to do a selection of some of our Ballroom Party Dances.

We’ll be teaching you the basic steps of:

• The Farmer’s Wife
• Baby Bus Stop (a simplified version of the Saturday Night Fever line dance)
• Heel-Toe Polka; and
• The Elephant Walk.

As well as being a fun way to start our classes they also help our kids to work on identifying left and right, and pick up some of the basic steps of other dances.

We hope you enjoy the class.

The Music

We have used a selection of music for this week’s Ballroom Party Dances class:

• The Farmer’s Wife

• Baby Bus Stop

• Heel-Toe Polka

• The Elephant Walk

The post Ballroom Party Dances – Kid’s Edition appeared first on Learn To Dance.

For licensing reasons we aren’t using the song Night Fever, but feel free to practice to that song at home if you prefer.

The Dance – Saturday Night Fever

We’ll break the line dance down into bitesize chunks and build up to the full routine, before including the rotating between walls element.

In the movie, the dancers keep repeating the same routine. However they use editing to make sure that the ‘finger point’ always falls on the “Night Fever” chorus. Therefore don’t be surprised, if practicing with the Night Fever music, that you’re not pointing at that point every time.

The Music

The song from Saturday Night Fever where they use the Brooklyn Bus Stop is the Bee Gees Night Fever

But for this video we have used Special Delivery by The New Fools

See our Saturday Night Fever video

A few years ago we had a cinema night at the studio, showing the film. Before the screenings at our cinema nights we always run a workshop inspired by the film.

In the workshop for Saturday Night Fever we used a modified Brooklyn Bus Stop, as well as taking other dance elements from throughout the film. The routine is taught over a 45 minute workshop and then we sit and watch the film.

For this routine we choreographed it to Stayin’ Alive, rather than Night Fever. If you want to check out the outcome you can see our video below:
