How to Choose a Dance Style Based on Your Temperament?

The term "Temperament" refers to the innate individual mental properties of a person, determining emotionality, behavior, ways of thinking, and activity.

There are 4 types of temperament. Each has its own specific types of behavior in society.

How to choose a dance style according to your temperament, how to understand yourself?

It is necessary to try dancing different styles. There is no 100% guarantee that a melancholic person, for example, cannot dance the liberating, seductive "Go-Go" dance.

Let's look at recommendations for each type of temperament, so that training brings pleasure and harmonizes with the dancer's soul.

Sanguine.

People of this temperament type are bright, lively individuals.

The dance style "Latina" is perfect for them, as if created for them. This includes fiery Rumba, Merengue, Bachata, Pasodoble, Cha-Cha-Cha.

Importantly, these dances can be performed both in pairs and solo – the appeal of the dance does not diminish. Moreover, countless couples have been formed through Latina dance classes.

Choleric.

People of this temperament type are extremely unstable, but open and active.

Cholerics are suited to absolutely all varieties of Club Dances.

Feminine R'n'B, the seductive Go-Go dance, modern Hip-Hop, Funk, and other styles of contemporary movement provide a wide scope for realizing creative potential, discovering new movements, and the opportunity to "open up" one's own body.

Melancholic.

People of this temperament type are shy, reserved individuals. Classical dances are ideal for them, as it is easier to express themselves in them.
There is an excellent solution for melancholics – the contemporary style of Body Ballet, which allows learning dance, improving plasticity and physique.

Phlegmatic.

These balanced, restrained people are well suited to Oriental, Irish, Indian dances, as well as Flamenco. For phlegmatics, strict sequence of movements and speech is extremely important.

In addition to all the recommendations listed above, a dancer should pay attention to the choice of choreographer.

The teacher should be similar to the student. Sometimes, due to a strict, harsh choreographer, a naturally soft person gives up dancing.

Therefore, the issue of choosing a style and choreographer should be taken seriously.

We remind you that each of us is an individual, so it is necessary to try yourself in practice, that is, in dance.

Then even a melancholic might discover themselves as a great Hip-Hop dancer.
