Transforming Your Life Through Dance
- Transform Your Mind and Spirit -
Regardless of our age, our mind and spirit is an integral
part of who we are. While learning the art of
Ballroom dance, time disappears as we change our focus of
attention from our daily activities and problems to moving
our bodies to the rhythm of the music. Through this
delightful discipline, we not only grow in self esteem and
inner awareness, but provide our mind with a wonderful
method of practicing focus.
- Transform Your Body - We can also say that
our body is yet another integral part of who we are.
As we evolve from childhood to adulthood, we become
increasingly aware of the importance of physical fitness and
health. Health is defined as not just the absence of
illness, but more importantly, the maintaining of our
functionality for as long as possible. Ballroom dancing is a
great form of fitness which provides a healthy method of
movement that promotes muscle tone, increases our
flexibility, and helps us maintain our coordination. And
better yet, anyone can Ballroom Dance for fitness. Age
is not a deterrent, size is not a deterrent, and most
importantly physical disability is not a deterrent.
All that is really needed is the desire to learn and the
dedication to practice.
- Transform Your Relationships - Another
very important part of our integral life is our relationship
to others. As a Ballroom Dancer, gender awareness is clearly
defined as we connect with our partners in movement, each
one bringing the separate, yet equally important, masculine
or feminine role. Cultural awareness is reflected by
the beautiful dances that have their roots from all over the
world. Communication skills, dance etiquette, and
cooperation are all transformative parts of the practice of
Ballroom Dancing. And the fruits of this practice
carry over to all aspects of ones relationship with others.
