Ballroom dancing is a pleasurable way of passing time while stretching the body. Physically, the body benefits from the twirling, twisting and bending that dancing requires. Imagine the calories lost from all the turning and prancing around the hall. Mentally, the brain is exercised by efforts to remember steps and by focusing on moving in time with the music. Ballroom dancing is a social activity that builds confidence, grace and self assurance.
Most ballroom dances are Latin in origin. The most popular is the cha-cha. Experienced dancers are also well practiced on the Tango, Mambo and the Samba. Latin dances are often fast paced, expressive and suggestive. The ruffled costumes alone suggest how the dance is passionate and romantic. Latin dance shoes, characterized by strappy pumps complete the dancer’s get up.
