Interesting Facts About the High Heels Dance Style

It's no secret that the dance style High Heels works real magic, turning any girl into a sexy angel — in the most appropriate sense of the phrase. And it doesn't matter what your height, weight, age, or skin color is.

Even the most modest, shy, and reserved girls, when they come to a High Heels class, reveal themselves from a completely different side. And these changes stay with them in life. Beginner dancers become confident, attractive, and simply charming individuals.

Of course, all these changes don't happen just because of feminine, arousing moves to rhythmic music. The culprit behind it all is the heels. And the shoes must not be on a stable medium heel. They need thin, high heels.

The ideal option would be a 20-centimeter stiletto paired with a 5-centimeter platform. It's thanks to this that girls gain confidence. After all, some dance in such shoes, while others can't even walk in them.

The entire history of High Heels begins in a small neighborhood of Los Angeles, where a particularly unremarkable girl named Andy J. lost a bet to her dancer friend. As a punishment, she had to perform hip-hop choreography on extremely high heels, then upload the video of her dance to the internet.

It seemed like a simple joke that gave birth to an entire dance style. Soon, dancers took the video as a challenge and also started performing hip-hop on sky-high heels and uploading their "works of art" online. Even now, if you search hard enough, you can find recordings from those times. Not Andy J.'s choreography, of course, but something similar released shortly after her triumph.

In the 21st century, High Heels choreography has changed a lot. The dance has incorporated a huge number of elements from styles like vogue, go-go, strip plastic, and of course, hip-hop. Although "hip-hop on heels" from Andy J. is long gone for one simple reason. Hip-hop revolutionizes along with other dance styles, and sometimes even surges ahead. And that's more good than bad, although true fans of Andy J. condemn modern High Heels dancers.

Today, there are many professional dancers of this style. But truly talented ones can be counted on one hand. For example, a bright representative of modern High Heels is Ekaterina Timicheva. This girl got into the style back when it was gaining popularity in the 2000s. And to this day, Ekaterina perfects the style, adding her own "dance notes." She started teaching around 2012-2013 and has since devoted herself entirely to High Heels.

The style is gaining more and more popularity. Schools teaching this direction are countless. High Heels master classes are now held not only in big cities and the capital of Russia, not to mention abroad, but also in the smallest towns.

It's not certain that pros come to those places, but still, High Heels is developing. Besides, to get to a master class with a professional teacher, you'll have to pay about 500-700 rubles, while private lessons sometimes reach 5,000 rubles. But as they say, nothing is too much for art.

For private lessons, women are ready to pay any price just because the teacher helps them fully open up and overcome all their shyness. This effect can also be achieved in group classes, but unfortunately, not everyone manages it.

Despite all its ups and downs, High Heels still maintains its popularity. For example, one representative of this style successfully passed the audition for the famous project "Dances on TNT." Julianna Kobtseva not only presented High Heels in the best light but also managed to make it into the top 20 dancers in Russia.
