You like to learn to dance. You also know that dancing is good for your health and is a good form of art.
The question is what is the type of dance you want to learn if you do not have any idea beside the two mentioned?

I would definitely suggest ballroom dance!

Why ballroom dance you might ask? Firstly, there is a great range of ballroom dance, from waltz to jive, and from tango to cha cha! You indeed will not get bored easily with this wide range of dances!
Also, these dances require you to have a different gender partner. Therefore, you have many chances to meet with different girls in your dance class!

It is well known that in many dance classes, the women often outnumber the men. Being a guy will definitely makes you stands out and becomes a “hot” commodity. So, you will actually get to dance with more women!

Ballroom dance demand the man to be in confident and in control so that he can lead his partner in the dance routine. Trust me, women find this very attractive, particularly if you are able to make her look even more elegant and graceful while dancing. Women do like confident men a lot!

There is one major misunderstanding when it comes to learning to ballroom dance. That is the inappropriate positioning and touching of your partner body. Guys feel that by doing so, it will make them feel like ‘taking advantage of the girl’ and makes them uncomfortable.

The truth is, the ‘touching’ and ‘holding’ in ballroom dancing often creates great bonding. Therefore, you have a great opportunity to bond with many female partners. Of course, you need to refrain from touching some other body parts!

Body posture is extremely important in ballroom dancing. The man should be in excellent posture all the time while being polished, charming and elegant! In short, a real gentleman! The ballroom dance man will definitely be appeal to most women.

In my opinion, the most pleasing part about meeting up girls in dance lessons is that all students have a strong common passion in dancing. Therefore, you do not need to feel awkward and panic while approaching women that you do not know. Just dance with them and the words will naturally come. When you and your partner have practiced the dance form together for long hours, you will get more opportunity to talk about things and spend time together

Smiling, laughing and even falling up will make bring you two closer than ever.

If you really found the girl you like, you do not need to crack your brains to think where you would want to hang out with her. Just bring her to dance clubs and parties!

Finally most men do not appreciate ballroom dance. This definitely increases your market value!

So ballroom dancing is definitely the type of dance I strongly recommend, especially if you want to meet some girls!

Who knows, you might be able to meet that someone who not just as be your dance partner, but also your partner for life.

Are You Ever Too Old To Start Dancing?

Miriam G. sits at the table, watching her granddaughter whirl across the floor with her new husband. “I’d love to dance like that.”

Hiram, her husband of over forty years, extended his hand and smiled. “Well, come on, honey.”

She shook her head. “I can’t. I don’t know how to do that.”

“Then we’ll take lessons,” he said. “We can learn. It’ll be fun.”

Miriam thinks about it for a moment, and then shakes her head. “No, honey. I’m just too old.”

Are you ever too old to learn how to dance? It’s a question being asked by surprising numbers of people, from the 10 year old sadly convinced that she’s far too ancient to take up tap to Miriam’s generation and beyond.

How Old Is Too Old?

How old is too old to start dancing? You might be amazed by the people who claim they’re too old to get on the dance floor. Some of them aren’t even out of elementary school yet! People who say they’re too old to dance are in their twenties, thirties, forties, fifties, sixties, seventies, and beyond. We’re talking about a wide range of people, all of whom are very different from each other. The only thing that they have in common? The fear that they’re too old to dance.

Where does this fear come from? Some people may think they’re too old to take dance lessons because they’re not as flexible as they used to be. How, they wonder, will they manage the fast footwork and dramatic bends of ballroom dancing? Can their heart stand up to swing dancing?

If this is your concern, the very best thing you can do is talk to your doctor. You might be amazed at what she’s got to say. Dance has many health benefits that are good for people of all ages: increased cardiovascular health, enhanced muscle strength and balance, weight loss, and increased flexibility. Dance also benefits your psychological health, lifting the mood, increasing confidence, and giving an outlet to work through stress and tension.

Dancing is fun, and part of the fun is learning to dance with a group.

You don’t have to worry about any pressure – this isn’t training for Dancing with the Stars! Think of dance class as a way to have fun, get a workout, exercise your body and your mind, learn some moves and then, when the next wedding rolls around, you won’t have to sit on the sidelines! You can get out on the dance floor and have a good time!

A loving connection is the bedrock of a committed relationship-all couples are trying to find ways to remain emotionally close to one another as they navigate the complexities of life. When people feel deeply connected to their partners, they often describe feeling “complete,” “whole” or fully “understood” by their partners. This is one of the remarkable gifts that only intimacy can bring.

Jane, a fifty-three-year-old flight attendant, describes the emotional connection she shares with her husband:

“It’s like we’re dancing to our favorite song. You know how a song you love makes you feel really alive? When things are going well, our steps are in tune and I can almost anticipate my husband’s next move and he can anticipate mine. This lifts me up in ways I can’t fully explain.”

Dancing is the perfect metaphor to describe intimacy. It involves being in sync with each other, attuned to the needs and emotional rhythms of your partner.

Let’s look at ways to nurture intimacy.

5 key ingredients to keep your relationship dance in top form and you and your partner in step:

1. Effectively communicating your needs-letting your partner know what works and doesn’t, what is helpful and unhelpful.

Healthy communication needs to exist alongside healthy and realistic expectations about your partner. If you expect your partner to meet all your needs, or to intuit your needs without direct communication, you are setting the stage for frustration. Focus on communicating what you need, rather than attacking your partner when s/he fails to meet your needs.

2. The ability to compromise and accept the differences that exist between you and your partner.

No matter how attuned you and your partner are to each other’s needs and desires, the fact that you are separate beings will be felt in your relationship (e.g., you might have different ways of handling stress or you may express your needs differently). When you and your partner accept the inherent differences that will always exist between two people, you create a relationship atmosphere that allows each other’s essence and uniqueness to unfold.

3. The ability to forgive your partner.

Forgiveness plays an important role in your marriage or relationship. Even with the best intentions, partners end up hurting each other. This is heightened when you bring the most vulnerable and raw parts of yourself into the relationship-intimacy requires this level of emotional exposure. Without the ability to forgive your partner for his/her blunders and relationship missteps, resentments build. There is no greater obstacle to intimacy than pent-up grievances. When forgiveness is part of your relationship terrain, space is created for the missteps that are inevitable. This gives you the freedom to be yourself-an imperfect human who is trying his/her best to be a loving partner.

4. Affirming each other’s strengths and vulnerabilities.

When your and your partner affirm each other, your uniqueness is recognized and appreciated. Marriages and relationships that include affirmations are more robust. Consider for a moment how you feel when your partner acknowledges your victories as well as when s/he is compassionate and supportive when you feel insecure. Couples often report greater levels of intimacy when meaningful affirmations are a regular part of their relationship.

5. Be a consistent and reliable presence for your partner.

Trust is the foundation of intimacy and if you want to build a stronger connection with your partner, you need to follow through on your word. Don’t make promises you can’t keep. Obviously we all mess up now and then, but repeatedly failing to be a responsible partner will only erode the foundation of intimacy. When you do what you said you were going to do, and you respond to your partner in a consistent way, the dance of intimacy is likely to proceed smoothly.

Remember, even the best dancers (like the best relationships) fall out of step with each other, and if you’re like most people, your relationship dance will stumble from time to time. Disagreements, misunderstandings and life’s stresses may drive wedges between you and your partner, temporarily weakening your connection.

All marriages and relationships involve cycles of closeness and distance, intimacy and loneliness. You will only set yourself up for disappointment if you assume that you should always feel intensely connected with your partner. Even “soul-mates” clumsily step on each other’s feet.

When your relationship dance falls out of step (which it will), try to remember the following:

~It is perfectly normal that you and your partner bounce between connection and disconnection.

~As long as you both give your relationship the attention it deserves, these missteps will be temporary.

~During moments of disconnection, give each other the time needed to regain your emotional footing.

~When you’re both ready, work toward understanding why these missteps occurred.

Problems can arise when you allow the natural disconnections that occur in your marriage or relationship to linger indefinitely. Don’t use the frequency of these normal relationship tangles as a diagnostic tool for your relationship, but instead use the fact that you and your partner are committed to working on repairing these natural missteps as a sign of a strong union. So whether you have two left feet or are a skilled dancer, learn to appreciate and enjoy the dance of intimacy as it unfolds in your relationship.
