Most people think stiffness comes from being “not flexible.”
But the real reason is simpler:

Stiffness comes from fear of unfamiliar movement.
When your body doesn't know what to do, it tightens, freezes, and overthinks every step.

The moment you start practicing—even small, simple movements—your body begins to relax.

Your nervous system learns that movement is safe, not scary.

 
The Downside of Not Moving
Avoiding movement keeps your body stuck in the same rigid patterns.

The Upside of Learning to Dance
You feel lighter, more expressive, more confident—on the dance floor and in life.
