There are so many types of ballroom dances that it makes it suitable for so many types of people. Some of the dances are very low impact, and can be great for some senior citizens and beginners who may have not done regular exercise for a few years. (Of course, you should always have a new exercise plan approved by your physician).

I don’t have any special dance skills. 

Beginning ballroom dance does not require any special dance skills or ability. If you have the desire to learn, you should schedule some time to start lessons. Ballroom dancing is all about the position you hold yourself (the framing), the steps, and the rhythm. Repeat these a few times, and they may start to feel natural.

Poise and Grace. 

If you have always wanted to move a little more gracefully, then practicing holding yourself and gliding across the floor could really help you do this. It would get you in the mindset that you can move gracefully, and can carry it over to your everyday life.  It’s a confidence builder!

I just got invited to an event. 

If you would like to have some more dance moves at that wedding, class reunion or company party that is coming up, ballroom dancing could provide this for you. You don’t have to be the wallflower anymore! Even after just a few lessons you can start moving great on the dance floor. Or practice even longer to become an expert before the big day!

FUN!

It is so much more fun on the dance floor if you know some special moves to use.  If you love the music and the dance scene, but have never had the moves to get out there on the dance floor with confidence, learning a few fancy steps is just what you need! You can join in all the fun.

I want something new to do with my partner.  

Are you bored of all your regular activities?  Is it time to spice it up a little? Ballroom dance is a great activity for the two of you to learn together. We all get in the same routine of doing the same activities over and over again – whether it is going to the same restaurant or sporting event, having the same group of friends over, or just doing the same thing as last week. Every so often you have to add something new into the rotation!

Embarrased to not know the steps.

If you really want to learn to ballroom dance, whether it’s the graceful glide of the waltz or the sassy movements of the latin dances like the samba or the cha cha, all it takes is practice.  If you try the steps over and over, and repeat them till you get them right, but would rather not have an audience, then learning at home may be just right for you! Forest Vance has this available through DVD’s or livestream options.

Burning Calories -There are many types of dances, which makes the activity appropriate for many levels of exercise. Depending on the dance, you can burn between 260 to 500 calories for an hour on the dance floor, which is similar to how many you would burn with an easy bike ride or baseball game of the same length of time.  This is generally considered a moderate level of exercise.  If you need something more slow-paced, then start with the Waltz, Rumba or the Fox Trot, and work up to some of the others. If you need a quicker pace to start, some of the latin dances with fast footwork like the Cha Cha offer that. Dancing is great for working on endurance and flexibility as well as burning calories.

Flexibility and Endurance - Dependent on dance, good stretching is included with the poses and movements of the dances. Imagine the stretch of the tango as you dip, or keeping your elbows high as you spin to the Foxtrot. All of these ballroom dance moves help with your increased flexibility. Of course, you can’t stop till the music is done, so it pushes you to complete the dance, thereby improving endurance.

Mental Health and Social Benefits - And who would not want an exercise that is fun?! If you enjoy dancing, and enjoy the music, then you get the added benefits that happiness provides to your mental health.  If you dance with a partner, then you can add in the social benefits of ballroom dancing. (Or maybe you are learning to go find a new partner.)  It is a great option to learn at home, and prepare to share your moves out in public. Learning at home also provides the benefit of building your confidence.

Week one, most of the new stars are usually pretty shaky – rarely has a dancer gotten “10s” the first week from judges Carrie Ann Inaba, Bruno Tonioli, Len Goodman or Julianne Hough.  But there are a few that stand out already.  We pick our favorites, and hope they dance better next week – start holding their arms up higher, and getting their footwork down better.  We watch, and love the theme of the night, the costumes and the props, and hope our favorites make it through the difficult Foxtrot or Paso Doble. And they do improve, week by week, and lesson after lesson.  Practice pays off, and we start seeing more “10’s”.

Some of us want to dance around the room with them, and we get up off our couch and glide around, or save that for when no one is home (until we improve a little). And by the end of the four-month season, the stars that have completed their weekly lessons, and are transformed into ballroom dancers.

Some of the stars get cut and never get a chance to continue, practice weekly, and get really good at gliding across that dance room floor by the end of the season , but you can have that chance with Forrest Vance. Forrest Vance, like our Val, Derek or Michael from DWTS, a ballroom dancing professional.  He is a 5 Time Undefeated U.S. American Rhythm Champion and Professional Hall of Fame Award winner, and can teach you to dance in the privacy of your own living room.  There are both DVD and livestream options available for you to learn with.  Learn more about Forrest Vance, his online and in person lessons, and you can be learning all those fancy dance moves in no time!
