Make Romance a Priority This Year

Let’s dance,
Put on your red shoes and dance the blues
Let’s dance,
To the song they’re playin’ on the radio
Let’s sway,
While color lights up your face
Let’s sway,
Sway through the crowd to an empty space

Dancing with someone you care for…now that’s a way to connect on a more intimate level. Holding each other tight and “swaying through the crowd”, can you think of anything better?

If your goal in  2016 is to have a year filled with deeper, more meaningful connections, learning how to social dance will provide you with a really cool skill that can take you where you want to be. Whether you have a partner at this point or not, once you know some popular social dances, you can meet new friends (potentially even a love interest) and gain a hobby that will prepare you for tons of fun social opportunities in the future. Sounds like a great idea, right? I agree. 🙂

Now’s the time to seek out a social ballroom dance studio for adults in your area and see about taking some beginners dance lessons for couples or singles. 2016 is a fresh start for many, so why not develop some new talents that will help you to stand out above the rest. With the know-how to social dance well,  you will make an impression on your friends and onlookers alike. So what dances should you explore this year? Here are my top three picks for useful and popular dances that you will use in the year ahead.

1. Country Two Step: Country dancing can actually be quite romantic. Whether your favorite Country music is fast or slow, there are plenty of exciting dances and moves that can help you to ignite some passion with your partner.

The Country Two Step is great fun for those mid-tempo Country songs. It’s also pretty easy to learn, at least in the beginning stages. Once you get to the more complicated dance moves, hold on to your boots, because the possibilities are endless to twist, turn and tangle up in each other’s arms. With the Country Two Step under your belt, you’ll be prepared to go out Country dancing anywhere.

2. Salsa: If you’re thinking of a steamy, sensual, but very playful dance to check out, give Salsa dance lessons a shot. Being a proficient Salsa dancer means looking and feeling confident while on the dance floor. That’s a very attractive quality. Salsa dancing, as with all Latin dances, requires a little attitude and a lot of spunk. Salsa dancing is quite fun with a partner you know, and one that you’d like to get to know better…

3. Swing dancing. Most people wouldn’t generally associate Swing dancing with romance, but it actually is a super-fun way to connect with your sweetie. With all of the cool turns to know, Swing dancing will keep the energy up and the sparks flying! For a good time that’s sure to lead to some great memories, give Swing dance classes a try.

OK, it’s time to see how you want to pursue your 2016 resolution of becoming more connected with others. Social dancing is just one avenue, of course, but it’s one that will bring you more than just a new and fabulous hobby. Through social dancing, you can check off your health goals, and even goals of doing something really neat and unique in the upcoming year. Now’s your time…Make it amazing! Hope to see you on the dance floor!
