Dance With Me
On World Dance Day today, dance instructor Sandip Soparrkar tells you what dance form suits each sign of the zodiac. Read on to know how you could groove best...
| Jesse Randhawa and Sandip Soparrkar |
Dance: Merengue
This dance comes from Dominican Republic and its neighbouring island Haiti. This quick tempo dance is great for people who are very aggressive, self-confident and full of life. The dance has bouncy, vigorous and brisk moves, which are the typical traits of an Arian (being assertive and energetic).
Taurus
Dance: Viennese Waltz
This dance comes from Austria and South of Germany. While performing this fast dance, one has to not only be watchful but constantly alert to avoid others bumping into you while you're in the dance movement. It is a very compassionate, poised, royal and loving dance with movements that are in fast, circular motion. Viennese Waltz is especially for Taurians as they are known to be very careful and caring people.
Gemini
Dance: Cha Cha Cha
This dance is an off-shoot of a famous Latin folk dance called the Mambo. Cha Cha Cha has very inviting music, is flirty, naughty and a very spicy dance. It is filled with lots of hip actions, is also mischievous, dynamic and bubbly, true like the way Geminians are. After all, aren't they known to be both, lively and flirtatious by nature!
Cancer
Dance: English Waltz
Like the name suggests, this dance comes from Great Britain and is considered to be one of the most tender, mild, graceful and elegant dances of the world. Its dance direction, movements and, often, even the speed keeps changing thus making it a very unpredictable dance, just like the sign Cancer. Cancerians are known to be moody and yet, are one of the gentlest among people.
Leo
Dance: Paso Doble
This dance is associated with Spain as it is a story of a Bull Fight on to the dance floor. This dance is extremely flashy, flamboyant and extravagant; the mood of this glitzy dance is a 'fight'. In this dance, the man represents the matador and the women his cape in the drama of the Spanish bullfight. This hot and flaming dance truly represents the ever so flamboyant and fiery Leo.
Virgo
Dance: Jive
This dance form comes from The United States of America. Jive is similar to Boogie, Jitterbug, West Coast Swing, Lindy Hop and, most of all, Rock n Roll. It is a fun-filled, carefree, practical and a relaxed dance. While performing this dance, one needs to be extremely watchful and careful, since it is a high-speed dance. This crazy dance is best for Virgos as they are known to be practical, cautious, and yet, fun loving people.
Libra
Dance: Rumba and Bolero
Rumba is the national dance of Cuba and Bolero comes from Bahamas. They both have fascinating rhythms and bodily expressions. Extended long legs and hem lines enhance the romantic mood of these dances. Rumba and Bolero are said to be the spirit and soul of all dance forms. When we think of these 'dances of love', we think of passion, obsession, infatuation, togetherness and lust. And that is what Libras are said to be - romantic at heart, always in love with 'love' and extremely charming as individuals.
Scorpio
Dance: Tango
This dance comes from the back-street bars of Argentina. It is the dance of 'mixed feeling'. Tango means many things to many people, just like the mysterious Scorpio. Its sexy and passionate attitude resemble the characteristic of the adoring yet inexplicable and enigmatic Scorpion.
Sagittarius
Dance: Samba
The dance is from Brazil and the feel of Samba is just like a Sagittarian - rhythmic, animalistic, exotic and adventurous. Samba is said to be an 'out of the ordinary' dance considering it is very musical, striking, unusual and has loads of bold and daring moves just like a Sagittarius person who is believed to be very courageous and gutsy by nature.
Capricorn
Dance: Bossa Nova
This dance form comes from Bahai and is meant for the typical Capricorns as they are cool, go-getters, determined to do their best. Like them, this dance style too is like a live wire. It is splendid, impressive and grand, firm with an attitude that is fresh, calm and breezy, very similar to a Capricornian.
Aquarius
Dance: Salsa
This dance style is the most erratic and unpredictable of all the dances yet it is orderly in its form, having a structured movement. Only a whimsical and wise Aquarian will understand the method in the madness. This saucy dance is the craze of this decade. Salsa moods can change at any time, from being sexy to spicy or loving to gloomy, or even from being passionate to heartbreaking.
Pisces
Dance: Quickstep
This is a very imaginative and an artistic dance, danced in a very pensive and wistful mood, just like the dreamy and very creative Piscean. Fast tempo yet in complete harmony, Quickstep with its syncopated hops and swings, is filled with loads of creative yet original impressive moves that are the typical traits of a Piscean.
