THEN DANCING IS FOR YOU!!! |
Ballroom Dancing has been continuously growing in popularity over the past few years.
 |
The inclusion into the Olympics
will only add to the trend that has been showing in movies ("Shall We Dance"
with Jennifer Lopez and
Richard Gere,
"Dance With Me" with Vanessa Williams, "Dancing with the Stars" on ABC...), on TV (Championship Dancing on WGBX,
NBC specials, documentations on BRAVO, and so on), and in various print media.
In addition there has been a recent shift in the music industry and "Swing and
Latin music" has been popularized tremendously lately. The result has been a
sudden growth of Swing and Latin Clubs all over the country.

An hour of moderate, sustained ballroom
dance burns 250-00 calories - twice as much as tennis, swimming, walking, or
bicycling. An hour of vigorous dancing - such as the Jitterbug or Lindy -
can burn up to 400 calories. Ballroom dancing is a low-impact activity that
tones and strengthens calf, thigh, and buttock muscles. It also improves
flexibility, coordination, endurance, balance, and posture.
Besides improving appearance and poise, ballroom dance can enhance your
overall physical condition. The National Heart, Lung and Blood Institute
endorses ballroom dancing as a way to lower the risk of coronary heart
disease, control blood pressure, reduce weight, and boost HDL cholesterol
levels. Dance can also reduce back pain, slow age-related muscle loss, and,
since it is weight-bearing exercise, help to build and maintain strong
bones.
There are some important differences between ballroom dance and traditional
aerobic exercise. For one, aerobic routines and patterns are repetitious and
can lead to overuse of one set of muscles. But in ballroom dance, you can
vary steps at will and create your own patterns as the music and mood
change. Since part of the fun - and the challenge - of waltz or swing or
salsa is change and diversity, the risk of overuse injury is low. So is the
risk of boredom, which means that you are more likely to stay motivated and
committed. So if you are convinced
then take advantage of our
Introductory Special. Call us to schedule your lesson.
