The Secrets Of Salsa Dancing

If you're looking for a dance that's worth taking up, the answer is definitely Salsa. Need a bit of convincing? Well, here're 7 reasons why you should try Salsa: 1. Social activity: It's an excuse to meet and greet new people. For a lot of dancers, when asked how and why they started dancing, the answer is usually this: to make new friends. Dancing, particularly a dance as popular as salsa, is a sure fire way to expand your social network. You will meet different and interesting people from all walks of life in a Salsa class.  And think about this: there's no better way to end a date than with salsa dancing. No two dance partners can start and finish a dance without feeling a certain connection, or understanding with each other. That's just the way of the dance. 2. Physical health: It's practically common sense that everyone needs exercise, but if jogging or doing pull ups is too boring for you, why not dance? Also, with dancing, you can adjust the intensity of the workout by pacing yourself with the speed of the music. As it is considerably a strenuous physical activity, dancing releases endorphins in your body. It boosts your mood and your energy and aids in better digestion. Every dance is a good cardio workout (strengthens breathing). If you're looking for a fun way to lose weight, then dance. 3. Agility: Learning how to dance is a step in learning how to walk a tightrope. Mastering each move, each swing, each stomp will give you better control of your own body's mechanics. You'll master balance and coordination, giving you a more dignified posture and actually lessening your risks of accidental injury. 4. Mental health: If you really get into dancing, it's likely to take up a lot of your time. You'll be busy; your mind will be working overtime, imagining and inventing moves you're excited and eager to practice on the dance floor. This conditions the mind to work; it promotes creativity as well as better coordination. And you won't be having self-esteem issues again. Being a dancer is good, but being a great dancer is awesome -the only confidence issue you're likely to face is overconfidence. 5. Dance is argued by many to be the highest art form. It's human expression at its finest. It's part of our culture as a race. Truthfully speaking, it's more than just moving the body, it's communicating on a deeper, more primal level. Dancing has been part of every era in our history; knowing how to do it exposes you to a world that's profoundly influenced human culture. 6. It's popular: If you're afraid of taking on a hobby you'll find difficulty practicing because of its low level of popularity, then you need not be afraid with Salsa. It's almost insane as to how popular this dance is. An average of 4 to 5 salsa festivals and salsa congresses are held every month, each in different locations all over the world. You'll never run out of gatherings to go to. 7. If you've read through this entire article, then you must be really curious; what better reason is there than curiosity? If you're still asking: why salsa? Well, why not? Besides, with the internet today, there are probably hundreds of instructional dance videos you can learn from. It'll be easy as pie and very rewarding, so go ahead and dance, dance, dance!
