This time spent together is important for both budding romances and decade long partnerships because it deepens intimacy. When couples dance together, they learn new skills they can take off the dance floor such as patience, communication, and empathy.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>Learning a New Skill<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Flowers will wilt over over time, but your new dance moves will stay with you and your partner for life! Practice them at home, and then when it\u2019s time for you two to hit the dance floor at an event, you\u2019ll have the confidence to relax and enjoy yourselves.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>Getting a Great Workout<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It\u2019s a well known fact that exercise floods your body with feel good endorphins, and dance is no exception! Dancing with a partner will have you both feeling happy and stress-free in very little time. Furthermore, working out at the same pace as a partner creates nonverbal matching. This helps a couple bond and feel more attuned with each other. Dance is great for this, since you\u2019ll be moving in rhythm.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><em><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Here at Fred Astaire of Middletown, we offer both in-person and online couple\u2019s classes designed to bring you and your partner even closer together this Valentine\u2019s Day!<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.fredastaire.com\/middletown\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/145\/2021\/02\/valentines-dance-lessons.jpg\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-7461 size-medium\" src=\"https:\/\/www.fredastaire.com\/middletown\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/145\/2021\/02\/valentines-dance-lessons-300x196.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"196\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.fredastaire.com\/middletown\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/145\/2021\/02\/valentines-dance-lessons-300x196.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.fredastaire.com\/middletown\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/145\/2021\/02\/valentines-dance-lessons-1024x669.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.fredastaire.com\/middletown\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/145\/2021\/02\/valentines-dance-lessons-768x502.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.fredastaire.com\/middletown\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/145\/2021\/02\/valentines-dance-lessons.jpg 1497w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Flowers and chocolates are nice, but dance lessons this Valentine\u2019s day is even more special!
