I have always wondered why dancing is nearly always considered to be the prerogative of women despite the presence of many excellent male dancers on stage and screen.. How many times do you hear of men going to a club purely for the love of dancing The usual reasons given are that they are going to pick-up a girl, going for a drink; anything but admitting that they want to dance for fear of others perceiving them as being gay. This is a great shame for dancing can hold a lot of rewards for both men and women alike, such as: -
Entertainment Benefits
Dependant on your age and agility getting up on the dance floor to a waltz, Jive or Samba for example can provide a great evening out as can just spending your time attending a performance by professional dancers.
Increased Romantic Opportunities
What better way is there to meet and get to know that special someone alone than to invite them than on to the dance floor for a slow waltz or a sexy rumba. Even if you are married in a long term relationship, what better way is there of re-igniting that spark; of rekindling those romantic feelings and intimacy from when you first met.
Friendship
Through regular dancing you will keep meeting familiar faces who you will come to know as friends by virtue of your shared interests.
Health and fitness
Dancing is great form of aerobic exercising which you need never tire of due to the wide array of different dances all of which will help you burn off excess calories (up to 400 calories an hour) as well as strengthen the muscles without you actually realizing it. It's also great for the cardiovascular system because it helps improves circulation and lowering blood pressure lowering the possibility of heart disease.
Better Posture and Balance
As you become more experienced you will learn more intricate dance routines which will help tone your muscles and improve your physique as you master greater bodily control over your co-ordination and timing skills.
Developing Self-confidence
By simply building on the above benefits, the sense of accomplishment you will attain can only help to build up your confidence and feelings of self worth. Frequent exercise also boosts the number of mood enhancing endorphins created by your body making you feel happier.
The only problem when it comes to learning to dance may be the cost and even that can be easily rectified by shopping around. One can shell out a lot of money buying an entire dancing course with a professional teacher to partaking in group lessons on a pay as you go basis, or if your primary interest is just studying to dance as a way of keeping in shape, you can invest in one of the many excellent dance course DVD's for sale in the marketplace today.
Plus as you get more involved with dancing you may increase your enjoyment even more by splashing out on some sexy new dance wear clothes
