There are many reasons why learning to dance is a good idea but I wanted to highlight 5 reasons why you should seriously consider learning to dance: Health, confidence, social, love and sex.
- Health: I bet you guessed that one right off didn’t you, well done you. Your health and wellness is one of the best reasons you could have, perhaps to help you lose weight or keep the weight off that you lost through dieting. But also, dance is fantastic for stamina. I also found that it improved my metabolism enormously, so much so that I pretty much could eat what I wanted, whenever I wanted and never put weight back on. By the way, I didn’t start serious dancing until I was 43 (five years ago) and I had the usual middle age weight problems when I started. I also found that in fact my appetite went down so that I was actually eating smaller portions but more often, which they say is a good way to eat.
- Confidence: Are you lacking in confidence at work, school, social situations or just any aspect of your life? Well dancing will help you hugely with that, you just gotta take that first step (dance pun intended).
- Social: Are you sometimes lonely? wish you had a wider circle of friends? just want to get out more often but your friends are always busy? When you join a dance class you will, over time (normally fairly quickly in my own experience) start to easily make friends with the other people attending the class perhaps just because you already have that one interest in common with each other, if you want it to, this can lead onto friendships and social meetings outside of the dance class.
- Love: Are you about to get married but you know that even your basic dance skills are non-existent (or you think they are)? do you always say, “I can’t dance, I have two left feet”? and up until now it was not important to you? Yes guys, I am speaking mainly to you.. I bet your worried about that “wedding first dance” or indeed I bet you would love to give your future spouse a wonderful surprise of a fantastic and memorable first dance at your reception. Well if any of that applies to you, get googling, there are a ton of Wedding Dance Classes or even DVD’s out there (I will feature some on this blog so check back). If you are really nervous though then I would recommend attending a class OR if you can afford it, a one-to-one session or sessions with a qualified teacher because standing there in your living room watching a DVD is more likely to make you feel worse and not better whereas an actual lesson with a real person who knows what they are doing and how to calm your nerves is worth it’s weight in gold or DVDs “LOL”
- Sex: Yep sex and again guys this one is mainly aimed at you. Do you know how utterly sexy and hot it is to most women to see a man confident enough to get up and dance, better still to dance close with them? Dancing close with your partner is so absolutely sensuous and sometimes erotic (even if it is only in the mind at the time of the dance) and that feeling can last for a very long time after said dancing session – so what do you think you could do with your wife/girlfriend/partner when they are in that mood? Yep, dancing is a great way to rekindle that waining desire.. trust me..
