Most beginner dancers often step with their legs completely straight. When you do this, the dance experience feels ‘clumsy’ and it is not good for your knees. Whereas if you dance with bent knees , your steps will feel much more comfortable and you get better stability.

This does not mean that your legs can never be straight or that you have to dance very low. But do keep in mind that your knees should be slightly bent most of the time.
