By Sharlene Fleming

Another twist on this is that some people want to learn specific choreography for a special occasion. This is becoming increasingly popular. Therefore they may go to a tutor with a specific idea of what they want to learn with a view to the tutor showing them how to do it.

In the long term other people may be doing it simply because they want to learn a specific style. Some may be fulfilling life long dreams to learn tap, jazz or ballet.
