Professional astrologer Charlotte “Charly” King and dance experts at BLOCH have paired dance styles with star signs using each of the zodiac’s temperaments and personality traits.
The New Year is a great time to develop a new hobby, but it can be difficult to know what to explore. Many aspects of fitness and movement are linked to personality and connected to the zodiac, so to help, an astrologist has revealed which dance is best suited to each star sign, making it easy to pick out your next hobby!
“Benefits from trying out the dance style in alignment with your zodiac sign include unlocking and showcasing hidden skills, talents, and natural abilities that you may not yet be aware of”, Charly explains, “Tapping into the movement form that comes naturally to your sign and energy type gives you an extra level of expression that feels organic and effortless, keeping you connected to the fun and joy of dance while building long-term confidence in your performance and flexibility.”
So, which dance suits you best?
ARIES
Dance style: Acrobatic dance
Personality traits: Eager, dynamic, quick and competitive
“Enthusiastic, dynamic Aries dancers won’t shy away from the physical challenges of movement, and thanks to their competitive, sporty nature, they are well suited to acrobatic dance. As the first sign on the zodiac wheel, they consistently display athleticism through every performance, pioneering any style that requires fusion and vision.”
TAURUS
Dance Style: Disco
Personality traits: Strong, dependable, sensual and creative
“Luxury-loving Taurus dancers enjoy all the accessories of disco with extravagant costumes and electric sounds that stimulate all of the senses, but from deep below the shimmering surface comes an uncompromising and dependable delivery. This earth sign shows the true meaning of grounded, using any kind of floor space to their advantage through travel and space in their performance.”
GEMINI
Dance Style: Jazz
Personality traits: Versatile, expressive, curious and kind
“Bubbly Gemini energy is adaptable, and dancers born under the sign of the twins have no trouble switching to a barrel turn to add an attention-winning speed change to traveling moves. Expression takes on two forms for these dancers, and whether classical or dramatic jazz, you are sure to deliver great personality.”
CANCER
Dance Style: Contemporary
Personality traits: Intuitive, sentimental, compassionate and protective
“The intuitive nature of a Cancer zodiac dancer connects them to the beat and pulse of the world, and any sound that they can move their body to. Improvisation and contemporary dance fit this hard-shelled, soft-centered sign, where letting the music move them in the moment and feeling the natural crescendos in perfect time, help them to deliver a leap of shock and awe in their performance from the soul.”
LEO
Dance Style: Salsa
Personality traits: Dramatic, outgoing, fiery and self-assured
“Leo zodiac signs belong to the element of fire, and which style of performance could be any fierier than salsa! Tight turns and cross-body leads are no issue for the self-assured lion or lioness dancer, performing even the basic step with lively animation and passion.”
VIRGO
Dance Style: Character
Personality traits: Practical, loyal, gentle and analytical
“One of the most careful signs on the wheel, the Virgo dancer is adept at delivering a character piece that is truly authentic to their overall performance. Nothing is left to chance and their traditional nature comes through with a story of expression told.”
LIBRA
Dance Style: Tap
Personality traits: Social, fair-minded, diplomatic and gracious
“Libra zodiac dancers, symbolized by the scale symbol, appreciate balance and symmetry in their performance delivery. The balanced partnership between feet that allow the audible personality of a well-timed shuffle ball change to compliment the music is a gracious act of harmony for this dancer.”
SCORPIO
Dance Style: Lyrical
Personality traits: Scorpio: Passionate, stubborn, resourceful and brave
“The emotional vault of a Scorpio is unlocked in a powerful display of feelings and moods with lyrical dance styles. Using levels to portray the up-and-down nature of emotions, this usually secretive sign has no problem tapping into the frequency of a performance to share sensations through the beauty of movement.”
SAGGITTARIUS
Dance Style: Voguing
Personality traits: Extroverted, optimistic, funny and generous
“Culturally intrigued Sagittarius dancers can blow away limitations and transform visions in the world of dance, with a bold display of mastery in voguing. The optimistic sign of the archer is well suited to this energetic dance style that seeks to unite all.”
CAPRICORN
Dance Style: Ballet
Personality traits: Serious, independent, disciplined and tenacious
“The Capricorn dancer meets ballet face-on with unwavering focus, the very kind required to hold an arabesque for half a second longer or push through pointe work without so much as a wince. Masters of self-control, Capricorns learn from each class and make significant progress with undeniable dedication.”
AQUARIUS
Dance Style: Hip hop
Personality traits: Progressive, imaginative, original and uncompromising
“Energetic, yet sometimes shy Aquarius dancers are ruled by their love of freedom and tribal energy, especially on the dance floor. With an unmatched talent for syncopation, dancing off-beat in hip hop is the perfect kind of risky business for this sign, displaying their eccentric talents in delivering unexpected, unique rhythms and moves.”
PISCES
Dance Style: Ballroom
Personality traits: Affectionate, empathetic, wise and artistic
“Ethereal Pisces dancers are gentle, often letting their senses guide them and always willing to work with others. Whether performing a whimsical waltz, or a piece that takes two to tango, you’ll offer beautiful, aesthetically pleasing lines in any one of the ballroom dance styles.”
Charly’s final thoughts: “The beauty in any art, especially dance, is what the individual brings to the piece through their identity, and by exploring your natural-born rhythms hinted at by the stars, you can become a more poised, well-rounded dancer.”
