Exercise specialists have reported that at the competitive level, fast ballroom dancing can elevate your heart
rate just as much as running cross-country skiing. A study conducted at California State University at Long Beach showed that even beginning students can derive health benefits from ballroom dancing.
The key to these benefits is to stay on the floor at least 20 minutes and just keep dancing. Most ballroom numbers are short, so you need a partner who’ll stay on the dance floor with you or a succession of partners. And make sure you wear the correct ballroom dance shoe.
