\"\"It\u2019s time to move to the beat. If you loved dancing, think about adding dance back into your schedule. Here are 6 good reasons to consider finding your way back out on the floor.<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. \u00a0Get out of your head. Leave your worries behind. If you are wrapped up in your thoughts, clear your mind. When you dance, you\u2019re going to think about your movement, you\u2019re going to enjoy the music and you\u2019re going to quit obsessing about work, the kids and grandkids and whatever else is cluttering your mind.<\/li>\n
  2. Dress up. You know you like to get out of that housedress or those blue jeans. Put on a dress with a flirty skirt. Consider that silk tie you haven\u2019t had out of the closet in months. Dressing up makes you feel good \u2013 and dancing might make you feel sexy. They go hand-in-hand.<\/li>\n
  3. A structured social setting. Whether you go to a dance club, a dance learning center or a dance at a community center, it\u2019s easy to meet new people. After all, you\u2019re all here for the same reason. It\u2019s not like a bar or a party, where you stand around hoping to find anyone to talk with you. You ask someone to dance \u2013 you\u2019re asked to dance. You dance; you switch partners. It\u2019s easy to meet new people.<\/li>\n
  4. It\u2019s exercise! And, it\u2019s fun. You work off some calories without even noticing. And, if you practice at home or dance while you\u2019re dusting, you\u2019ll add to your exercise plan without even realizing it.<\/li>\n
  5. Confidence. You\u2019re going to build your self-esteem. Dancing makes you feel sure of yourself. When other people are standing on the sidelines, you\u2019ll be ready to get on the floor and that makes you feel good about you!<\/li>\n
  6. It\u2019s a cool hobby. Your friends are going to be impressed; they\u2019ll think you\u2019re cool, confident and brave to give it a try. Dancing as a hobby beats just about anything. It introduces you to both new skills and new people. It\u2019s fun!<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    Dance! You\u2019ll meet new people and make new friends. You\u2019ll get exercise without feeling like you\u2019re doing a workout. Most of all, you\u2019ll have fun. If dancing used to be part of your life and isn\u2019t any more, come back. If you\u2019ve always wished you could dance, but never mastered it, learn! You can get started at community centers or dance clubs, but the best way to brush up your skills is to go to a dance center. You\u2019ll get the help and encouragement from professional instructors. One great place to learn is the Fred Astaire Dance Studio in Chandler. Give it a try!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
