Dancing is much more than just moving to the rhythm of the music. Dancing can be, for example, a performing art, a sport, a ritual or custom, a profession (e.g. ballerina, choreographer or dance teacher) or a form of therapy. Nevertheless, dance is first and foremost a form of social interaction and, for the majority of practitioners, a relaxed pastime that can be used to express feelings. It is enjoyable and fun at the same time and also has a strenuous component due to the necessary body tension in the movements, which has a positive effect on circulation and health. Factors that are important for young people, but especially for older people.

Whether foxtrot, Viennese waltz, ballet, boogie-woogie, rock 'n' roll, salsa, tap or line dance - the world of dance offers a wide range of dance forms and styles, with one or the other being more distinctive and popular depending on the country and culture. The range of dance training courses is just as broad. There are courses for individuals, couples or groups, beginners, advanced and professionals, as well as courses for children, young people, adults and senior citizens. Senior dance training is aimed at people aged 60 and over. Here, participants have the opportunity to pursue their joy or passion for dancing either alone or with a partner. Depending on the type of course, one or more dance forms are covered. You will be taught the relevant steps and movements so that you can move rhythmically to the music.

Would you prefer to train as a dance teacher and offer senior dances yourself?

Senior dance training can also be aimed at people who are interested in teaching seniors to dance and teaching senior dances. Senior dance training provides you with the necessary didactic skills. You will learn what it means to teach seniors and what you need to pay particular attention to (for example, allowing enough time for warming up). Have you already gained dance experience (professionally or as a hobby) or are you even a qualified dance teacher and would like to offer and teach senior dances independently?
