What Dancing Can Do For You!
Dancing is a reflection of one’s own personal life process physically, mentally, emotionally, and spiritually. There are three basic types of people: Visual, Auditory, and Kinesthetic. All students will learn from this foundation and they can and will be able to balance their ways of learning through dance. Many can enhance and develop all three of these ways of observing and learning in their personal, business, and social world. General Benefits of Ballroom and Nightclub Social Dancing: Brain Balancing: Dancing balances all 6 sides of the brain: Top, bottom, front, back, left, and right. Dancing develops many new brain synaptic connections that will naturally enhance the many body/mind/spirit connections, which will help to coordinate and balance your entire being. Dancing develops long term muscle memories that your conscious brain will forget. Social Dancing not only provides a great social environment for all of us to meet and get to know new friends, but it allows us the opportunity to practice our social etiquettes as “ladies and gentlemen” in a very high quality high touch environment that is safe! Our world today needs this type of environment. Dancing teaches us the old fashioned values of long term physical and mental discipline that we all need to remember is vital when we need to acquire new physical skills of grace and coordination. The old saying of “one step at a time” is very applicable to these old traditional values of discipline. Dancing provides one of the best aerobic exercises and toning that the body needs for long term health and balance. There are many testimonials about the benefits of dancing in one’s personal health. Dancing helps all of us to re-connect or to keep alive the precious “Child Within” each and every one of us. It is the “Child” within all of us that dances and plays with others in this great social dance environment. Without our “Child Within” all of us would lose our ability to connect with the playfulness of life. Dancing is in every social environment in the world. We all know the old saying, that it takes “Two to Tango!” Personal Benefits of Ballroom and Nightclub Social Dancing: On a personal level, dancing helps us all to balance the male and female aspects of our personality. If one is open to the many aspects of dance and if one studies the leaders and followers parts of each dance, then one has the opportunity to learn and understand the many aspects of the two roles of social dancing. This provides us the opportunity to balance the feminine and masculine in our own personality, socially, sexually, sensuously, mentally, and spiritually. Our spirit/soul/body/mind needs this balance. Dancing is one of the very few disciplines that teaches and provides us the tools to learn how to truly “stay in the moment” and to “be in the moment,” because you are required by dancing to do so. “Being present in any one moment” is a great attribute to have in today’s multi-tasking demanding world. Dancing provides us the opportunity to conquer many small and large fears socially, physically, and personally. These tools will naturally transfer to our personal, business, and social world(s). Dancing develops personal confidence, pride, self esteem, a sense of accomplishment, and patience. Dancing teaches us all how to be patient with ourselves and others and how to forgive ourselves and others. After all, we are only human! Remember Blair’s Five Rules of Dancing. We will all make mistakes! So be patient with yourself and others. “To err is only human, but to forgive is Divine!” Dancing helps us to learn how to set our ego aside while we learn new skills. Dancing helps us to gradually be more connected and comfortable with our body. Dancing teaches us how to have FUN when learning something new. Most importantly Ballroom and Nightclub Dancing assists us to integrate all levels of who we are into one whole and complete human being! Naturally a dancing human being! Therefore, get out on the dance floor and have fun! |
