Shall You Dance or Not?
Medical research shows that, in average situations, one loses about 200 calories doing fast dancing nonstop for 30 minutes. For total cardiovascular fitness, one should have a regular regimen — at least three times a week — of ballroom dancing.
As long as one is feeling well and able to do activities, like ballroom dancing, or fast walking, and has no medical contraindication, one should continue to do so, not only for physical fitness, but also and more importantly, for social and mental health.
The dress codes for dance events have a wide range, but however casual or dressy the event, you’ll want to choose clothes that are both easy to dance in and kind to your partner.
Ballroom dance shoes are lightweight shoes with eiher suede (chrome leather) or smooth leather soles. Shoes should be chosen not only for appearance but also for comfort, support, performance and protection.
