Are you a dance or a non dancer? I
grew up in a family that danced and partied. I just assumed as I
grew up that everyone knew how to dance, until I met a boy that told
me he did not know how to dance.

Not everyone knows how to dance. There
may be those that dance hip hop or others that do the holy dance in
church. There are many benefits to dancing. I can say that I like
dancing and it really makes me feel good. I can recall as a small
child the parties at our house included children and adults dancing
freely on the floor. At a recent family reunion I recall 2 little
ones that danced all night every dance on the dance floor. They
never sat down nor did they seem to get tired. They were happy just
dancing by themselves at times.

Ball Room Dancing
According to Ken Richards, spokesman
for USA Dance ballroom dancing gives the thighs and buttock muscles a
workout. He further adds that dancing can challenge your mind just
as your muscles are challenged. I agree.
Let's Move
I am so glad that Michelle Obama
started the Let's Move movement. I have observed many schools have
dance in their school or Zumba before the start of classes. They get
their students pumped up. I think this is a great idea. Kudos to
Michelle Obama.

Get In Shape
One of the best ways to get in shape is
dancing according to fitness expert Tracey Mallett. Huffington
Post.com adds that dancing can target cardiovascular endurance and
body composition. I know that I have watched dancing with the stars
and they really do get a good workout. Although I know it is not
that easy, they make it appear very easy.

Fun
Dancing is fun. Recently at my
Pastor's Anniversary Banquet the members danced and I observed that
there was a lot of laughter in the room. One little girl actually
started dancing soon as she heard music playing. She had no problem
getting on the dance floor by herself. This was a beautiful site to
see. Young and old was up on the dance floor dancing. So besides
the obvious health benefits, dancing is fun. Try it some time.
