This summer so far, I have enjoyed several open air concerts and public dancing events. It seems that you can find a place where music is being played almost anywhere during the summer. Whether you like old time music or rock and roll, there is somebody out there entertaining a crowd.
Dancing has got to be my #1 fitness activity. It’s doesn’t qualify for the word ‘work’out. It should be called ‘play’out. No, no that wouldn’t do either. Although now that I think about it, when I’m done, I’m played out
No matter what your favorite style of music is, if you can keep a beat, you can probably learn to dance. Last week, I watched seniors dancing to the tune of Johnny Cash and the fiddlers of Perth-Andover Market. It was great to see the grey hairs teaching kids of 5 to 10 how to step to the music.
Dancing is such a great way to work fitness into your life. Not only does it give you a reason to move, but it builds balance into your life as well. Dancing blends many of the best of life into one event. It is a positive social outlet, it decreases stress, and music improves your learning abilities.
The neat thing about dancing is, that it is not a seasonal sport. You can participate in dance by joining a class, going to a nightclub, going to an outdoor concert or getting into a mosh pit in an indoor concert. You can enjoy ballroom dancing, hip hop, salsa, or a polka. There are enough choices in that feild to keep you hopping for a lifetime.
Of course it would be crazy of me not to mention the clothes you can wear while you dance. If you have watched any of the popular shows lately like “So You Think You Can Dance” and “Dancing With The Stars” then you’ve seen the wide variety of clothes and styles related to each kind of dance routine. By and large, the clothes used to practice in are the exact same kinds of clothing used for working out in the gym or on the street.
