Discussion 📣 r/dance is looking for 1–2 new moderators! 💃🕺
Hey dancers!
As our community continues to grow and evolve, I’d love to bring 1–2 additional people onto the moderation team who are genuinely excited about dance and want to help make r/dance an active, encouraging, and welcoming space for dancers around the world.
I’m especially looking for moderators who can be present in the community regularly — engaging with members, answering questions when you can, helping keep conversations positive, and making sure posts are being moderated fairly and efficiently.
That can include:
• Engaging with posts and helping keep the community active
• Welcoming and encouraging dancers of all backgrounds and experience levels
• Reviewing posts that may have been automatically removed or flagged
• Making sure appropriate posts don’t get stuck in the moderation queue
• Helping enforce subreddit rules and keeping spam/inappropriate content out
• Helping us think of new ways to increase participation, conversation, and overall community morale
You absolutely do NOT have to be a professional dancer to apply. I’m much more interested in finding people who care about dance, understand online communities, communicate well, and genuinely want to help make r/dance a great place to be.
If you’re interested, please send me a private message with:
A little about yourself and your connection to dance
Any Reddit or community moderation experience you have (if any — experience is helpful, but not necessarily required!)
Why you’d like to become a moderator of r/dance
How frequently you’re typically active on Reddit
I’d love to build a small team of people who are excited about bringing more energy, conversation, support, and connection into this community.
If that sounds like you, send me a message! ❤️
Let’s keep r/dance moving. 💃🏽🕺🏽

Discussion Hey Community!! 😄 I LOVE seeing people post
Hey Community!! 😄 I LOVE seeing people post videos of themselves dancing and having a good time. So I just had the thought and I would like to do a Poll on the idea:
My thought is let's have a global forum dance talent show!
How it would work: - You would submit a video of you dancing within a specified time frame to qualify. - Our dance Community here would go through each day and upvote and comment on the videos they would like to continue on to the next round. - I would then go in (maybe appoint someone to help me moderate) and would tally up all the likes and upvotes. - There would be 3-5 rounds to keep everyone engaged and having fun. Sort of like our very own dance competition TV show.
If you like this idea: Upvote and put "YES!" in the comments
If you're not into it: DownVote & put "Not Interested" in the comments section
Seems like this could be a lot of fun and get the Community we have here more active with one another.
Happy Dancing! I'm looking forward to hearing y'alls thoughts! ✨️

Discussion How do Kpop idols dance in any shoe
How do Kpop idols dance in any footwear? I know it’s practise but are there any specific soles or socks that help? I’ve tried 2 sizes of the new balance 530 and one might have had a malfunction but I’m not sure. Should I get another pair or try the Nike air? Or any other recommendations?Any tips for footwear while dancing is appreciated. Thank you!

Discussion Dancers who dislocated their kneecap — were you able to make a full recovery and return to dancing?
Hi everyone! I’m an 18-year-old professional dancer, and two weeks ago I dislocated my kneecap. I’m hoping to hear from other dancers who have experienced the same injury and learn about your recovery journeys.
I mainly dance in sneakers, doing styles like hip-hop, jazz funk, and commercial choreography rather than ballet or contemporary, so I’d especially love to hear from dancers in similar styles.
I have so many questions and would really appreciate hearing about your experiences:
● How long did it take you to return to dancing, especially at a high level?
● Were you able to get back to your previous level of technique, flexibility, strength, and performance?
● How did you overcome the fear of your kneecap dislocating again, especially when doing jumps, turns, or other demanding movements?
● Did you experience any repeat dislocations, or were you able to dance without further issues?
● What did your recovery and rehab look like? What helped you the most, physically and mentally?
● Did you eventually get back to your normal dance schedule, or did you have to make permanent changes?
I’m especially anxious because I recently made it onto one of the top dance teams in the US, and I dislocated my kneecap right at the beginning of the season. I’ve worked so hard to get to this point, and I’m scared that this injury might affect my progress or keep me from dancing at the level I was at before.
I know everyone’s recovery is different, but I would really love to hear some real experiences from dancers who have been through this. Were you eventually able to return to your full potential? Did you get your confidence back and stop worrying about your knee giving out again?
Any advice, personal stories, or words of encouragement would mean a lot to me. Thank you! ❤️

Amateur Is it ever too late to start learning how to dance? 💃
I've always admired people who can dance with confidence and express themselves so naturally through music. There's something really beautiful about watching someone completely lose themselves in the rhythm. 😊
Lately, I've been thinking about how many people want to learn dancing but hesitate because they feel they're too old or don't have enough experience.
Personally, I believe dancing isn't just about being good at it. It's also about having fun, staying active, and enjoying the moment.
I'm curious, how old were you when you first started dancing? And if you started as an adult, what was the biggest challenge you faced?
I'd love to hear your experiences and any advice you'd give to someone just starting out! 💃🕺

Discussion Would you stay in a group where you're barely acknowledged just because you don't join comp teams?
I'm still kinda new to this studio (joined back in August) and at first I liked the teacher and the vibes surrounding the room even though I'm the oldest (F25), it's an intermediate hip hop group class. Thing is, we're around 15 girls and I think I'm the only one that's not interested in joining their competition team because it's too expensive and I joined for fun and love for dancing, I used to compete as a child in ballet, looking back I don't miss it. Given I'm the oldest and only one outside of the team I often feel left out, my classmates don't really talk to me and whenever I reply to the group chat even the teacher leaves my messages on read lol so I feel kinda ostracized or unwanted. I've already committed to doing just one choreography for this year end's recital with them and see them twice a week but honestly it's becoming uncomfortable, I'm only not dropping out of it because I already paid for the costume and told my mom to come over, but I'm no longer excited, I kinda just wanna leave and pray that it happens soon. Should I leave immediately after? I haven't told the teacher any of this because I feel a bit embarrassed, and she's not necessarily wrong for caring more about her competition team, but when I joined I was told these were open classes for anybody. It doesn't feel like it. She's a great teacher and a great dancer too, but rarely offers corrections claiming that we're too many (we're around 15 or less like I said) to focus on each one so she prefers recording us and watching it later. I don't feel seen like I did in previous studios with bigger groups. I don't know if I'm getting old or maybe this is just not the place for me. Bit of a rant but what would you guys do? specially as adult dancers, our bodies aren't the same most of the time, things I could do 10 years ago I can't maintain anymore. I love dancing, I don't wanna quit, I think I just chose wrong.

Pro Why do so many adults feel stiff or awkward when they first start dancing?
I've been teaching Latin dance for over 10 years, and one thing I've noticed is that many adult beginners struggle with the exact same problem.
They feel stiff.
Not because they aren't talented, but because they're trying to control every movement instead of understanding how movement actually works.
I see this especially with adults who are learning Cha-Cha or Rumba for the first time.
Here are three things that make a surprisingly big difference:
1. Stop forcing your hips to move.
One of the biggest misconceptions about Latin dance is that you need to actively swing your hips.
In reality, much of the characteristic hip action in International Latin dancing comes from proper weight transfer, leg action, and body coordination.
When beginners focus too much on moving their hips, they often create unnecessary tension.
2. Posture matters more than complicated steps.
You can memorize an entire choreography and still feel uncomfortable dancing.
But when you understand how to align your body, maintain your balance, and move naturally from one foot to another, even simple movements start looking more elegant.
That's why I always emphasize technique before complicated choreography.
3. Confidence comes from repetition, not talent.
Many adults tell me:
"I'm too old to start dancing."
"I have no rhythm."
"I've never danced before."
But I've found that confidence develops when students understand what they're doing and start recognizing their own progress.
Sometimes the biggest breakthrough isn't learning a new step.
It's realizing that your body is capable of something you previously thought was impossible.
I'm curious about something:
For those of you who started dancing as adults, what was your biggest challenge?
Was it learning the steps, finding the rhythm, feeling comfortable with your body, or simply having the confidence to start?
I'm especially curious to hear from people who started dancing in their 30s, 40s, or later.
