Let’s take ballroom dancing for example. \u00a0If you search the internet for ballroom dancing, you’ll find article after article that tout the hobby as being a great form of exercise, however, this doesn’t paint the whole picture. \u00a0Ballroom dancing burns about the same amount of calories as briskly walking or light jogging. \u00a0The difference, people who jog, usually do it everyday. \u00a0An average student takes between 1 to 2 lessons a week. \u00a0An average lesson length is right now about 45 minutes. \u00a0If you do the calculations, an average student burns between 270 – 540 calories per week during their lesson time;<\/a> hardly enough to make a dent in anyone’s weight loss goals. \u00a0So why do so many people that take dance lessons experience a significant weight loss and toning? \u00a0The answer…camaraderie!<\/p>\n

We are a team. \u00a0The whole studio, from the receptionist to the teacher, from the owner to the brand new student are all part of a wonderful team atmosphere. \u00a0That is why students lose weight and tone their bodies. \u00a0Because the Team\u00a0<\/em><\/strong>helps the student make good life decisions outside of the studio. \u00a0When given a choice of fast food or making a healthy salad, more often than not, a ballroom dancer will choose the healthier option simply because they don’t want to let their teacher or the Team<\/strong><\/em><\/a> down.<\/p>\n

This is also the key in making your resolutions stick this year. \u00a0In addition to writing down your goals, make sure you build a healthy and supportive team to help you make the right choices. \u00a0Besides our dance studio, there are plenty of places to recruit a proper support team. \u00a0Friends and family, Churches as well as a variety of community organizations. \u00a0Just be sure that they are supportive and promote the same goals as you want to achieve. \u00a0We would love to help you achieve meaningful enrichment to your life. \u00a0Whether that means losing a few pounds or quitting smoking, or simply just spending more time with your special someone, we can help!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
