There are plenty of wonderful reasons that people elect to dance. The fact remains that far too few of us manage to incorporate dance into our lives nearly as much as we should. There are a lot of reasons to dance, and they do not all require copious amounts of alcohol and someone with a video camera poised for America’s Funniest Home Videos greatness.
Below, I will suggest 7 great reasons to incorporate dance into your life as often as possible. I hope that you will take some of these to heart and find a few reasons of your own to dance more often.
Love
There are few greater reasons to dance than to show your love for your partner. You do not have to limit your dancing to your wedding night or an evening out with friends. All you need to dance with the one you love is some good music and a little bit of floor space. Dance while you prepare dinner, wash dishes, or just because it’s raining outside. But dance with the one you love and do it often to keep those flames burning.
Joy
We always hear people talking about dancing for joy, but how often do we see that happen? What a shame it is that we take so few opportunities to dance in our society. Dancing is an outward expression of joy that is almost always infectious. Share your joy with the world, and you just might find they will dance along with you. Even if they do not, you should at least be secure in the fact that at this moment, you are much happier than they are.
Fun
When is the last time you’ve danced? Was it fun? I have found very few people (Well, other than young boys) who did not have any fun while dancing. The truth of the matter is that dancing is fun. Whether you are line dancing or trying the Tango, it is great fun to dance.
Flirting
What a wonderful way to flirt dancing can be! If you haven’t tried it with the one you love, there is no time like the present to do so. Find some great fun and flirty music and dance for the one you love. If you’re really lucky, you might even convince them to join in.
To Make Your Children Laugh
There is no better reason on the earth than this to dance. My kids love to see me dance the moves that were popular back when dinosaurs roamed the Earth and share their more modern moves with me. It’s a great way to enjoy your children before they decide your evil or during those rare moments when you may be on the verge of being neutral in their opinions.
Fitness
While dancing does a lot to lighten the mood and raise your spirits, it can help your heart in other ways, as well. Dancing is a great way to get up and move that doesn’t feel as though it is exercised. This means that you can help your heart by dancing a little while every day. The longer you dance, the better you will feel and the healthier your heart will become.
Meet New People
If you decide to take lessons for dancing, you will find that you can meet a bunch of great new people. Dancing is a great way that many people have discovered to have fun and stay fit. Hence, more and more people are joining local dance classes for these very reasons. You might develop some lifelong friendships through your dance lessons that you would have missed out on otherwise.
Of course, there are many more reasons that different people take up dance. You may find an altogether different reason to take up dance for yourself. Whatever the reason you decide to dance, do it often and have fun in the process.
