What Is House Dancing?
Many people seem to have the misconception that House dancing is "dancing to House music." IT'S NOT. Dancing at a club with House music does not make you a 'House dancer.' House dancing is an actual technique and dance form such as jazz or ballet with its own vocabulary of steps.
The reason so many folks in the midwest or west aren't familiar with it is because it's a style of dancing that was developed in the east coast, predominantly New York. That's where I learned, taking classes for years whenever I was out there. It has its influences in African, Latin, Tap dance and Capoeira. It is smooth, flowing, with lots of emphasis on the footwork.
