Some people are blessed with rhythm and other people have none. Some people pick up a new dance in a second and other people have to practice rigorously just to find the beat. Maybe you need to shake it in the privacy of your own home before you bust a move in public. Maybe you just want to learn a new step on your way to the club. Either way, a dance infographic is a surprisingly helpful hack for learning a new dance. You get the basics in colorful, easily digestible chunks that you can quickly memorize and mimic even if you don't have an ounce of rhythm (me!).
