On To The Dance Floor With Salsa

By Jennifer Ramos

This dance is just one of the many dances out there that you or I can learn. After some practice, any novice can take over the dance floor.

I turn red every time I am asked to dance. Dancing is something that I am not really good at. Many of my friends go out to clubs, while I've never been to any because I know there would be a lot of dancing there. I don't really feel sore about it, I mean you can always do something else in a club, but people go there primarily to showcase their talents on the stage.

Exactly the reason why, sometimes, I wish I knew how to dance and be good at it instead of making awkward jerky movements every time. I say that, if anything, it is an activity that is really rewarding even as you are only starting to learn it.

More than getting fit, dance videos are designed for those who want to learn how to dance. I give credit to people who are good at dancing. To be good at any dance, people think that one should be born to dance, but I think otherwise. Yes, there are people gifted of this talent, but that doesn't mean that if you weren't born a dancer than you can never be a good one. I believe in the fruits of practice.

This is to say that people like me, who have discovered the interest in dancing at a later age, must not turn a pessimistic attitude towards it. Each movement might seem difficult but if you practice hard enough, you are always a step closer to perfection. There are dance schools out there, and dance videos as well. The latter proves to be of great help because you can take home your dance classes and practice every time you are in the mood.

As you go on dancing, don't be surprised to find that you have lost some weight. Yes, dancing does that. Because it involves a lot of body movements, there is no wonder that the dancer's body is always fit and buff. Each time you practice is like a session at the gym except that dancing is more enjoyable and engaging.

Also, when you dance, your whole body moves, from your head, arms, and hips and feet, you instantly become a moving portrait. Dance is not only an activity that most people enjoy, body movements together with music makes it an effective means of self-expression. That's why people who dance are also considered artists.

Dancing puts fun in getting fit. If you're thinking about the hassle in enrolling in a dance class, then stop, because there are plenty of dance videos for sale. Now you can do the dancing in your own home, whenever you're in the mood for some salsa dancing. Imagine practicing at your own pace, completing a series of dance lessons on video and then shocking every one at a party with your moves.

Salsa is for the bold and expressive, the romantic and the brave. But more than anything else, it is for those who have a heart for dance. - 23815
