WHY
BALLROOM DANCE?
General Benefits
You
will find many profits, many benefits, and many
enhancements to life if ballroom dancing is your
avocation, pastime, or hobby. You will find an
enhanced appreciation of music and its rhythms. You
will experience an increased sense of balance, a
more fluid movement in walking and running.
Dancing with a partner in harmony with good music
will help you develop a more open, understanding,
responsive, and supportive relationship with your
partner and with others. Your outlook on life will
become more positive.
While all dancing has its value, there will be
several completely memorable dances in one’s life. A
time when the partner, the music, the movement all
come together in a sense of achievement and pleasure
that stays in memory.
Physical Benefits
Physically, dancing is a great body conditioner,
even if done on a near-weekly basis. If done on a
regular basis, such as two to three times a week, it
becomes quite a beneficial activity. It will
increase that mid-afternoon stamina needed on the
job, it will develop that circulatory
“second-heart,” strengthen your legs, and will
generally tone the body over all. As mentioned
before, walking and body movement will be easier,
more balanced, and more fluid, with greater
flexibility in axis of movement.
Mental Benefits
Mentally, dancing serves as a wonderful stress
relief. A busy day of pressure melts into the
background when evening brings dancing in the arms
of another and pursuing the muse with dance? Sleep
that night is sound and relished.
Becoming a competent dancer will provide an
excellent learning experience in discipline,
achievement, goal setting, planning, assuredness,
self-confidence, and pride in your abilities. These
favorable attributes will transfer to other aspects
of your life as well.
Social Benefits
A good dancer is a definite plus to social occasions
– especially the men. If a man takes the time to
become a skilled and confident, but not overly
forceful leader, every lady in the room will
appreciate his presence. A good dancer does not need
to be handsome to be popular. Similarly, a lady who
is a good dancer radiates grace and charm,
regardless of whether she is a physical beauty.
Good dancing and good dancers can heighten the
atmosphere of an event. The whole affair goes more
smoothly when there is competent dancing.
In business and professional life, a person
can lend to their acceptance and belonging by the
ability to dance. On many social occasions it is
almost essential to be able to dance well.
As a ballroom dancer you will make many new friends
and will find that ballroom dancers are wonderful
people. Ballroom dancing will add a new and very
beneficial dimension to your life. It is a lifetime
social skill that will provide much joy during your
entire life.
