  • Salsa dance classes

    Just thought I would share....I started taking salsa dance lessons last week and I can't tell you how great taking such a class would be. If you haven't tried it...try it ASAP! The class is 1.5hr long and you sweat like crazy. I was so sore the next day, I couldn't get out of bed, plus during the night I was moaning in muscle pain,but it was the good type of pain. I go every Wed night now from 6:30-8! If you want to drop some serious inches and pounds...I think this would be it....also, its a nice change from the gym.

    Marsha now that sounds like so much fun. I love to dance. Sadly I married a NON-dancer :no !

    Where are you taking the class? Through the gym? Through a dance studio?

        I am taking lessons at a studio and you don't need a partner. Usually there are enough people in the class to pair up with toward the end of the class when we actually need to practice with someone. Otherwise, the instuctor will dance with you and swith off with someone else with no partner. So it all works out if you go alone!!! It is truly a blast and for 1.5hr you sweat like a dog and you really burn some serious calories. Everytime I take the class...I wake up soooo hungry the next day.

          :wave Wow! That sounds like fun. Wish I had time to be back in a dance troupe. Not only is dance fun, it's hard work and a great exercise and NO you don't need a partner. Bikergranny was in a Belly Dance troupe for 3 years and the only partner I had was my youngest daughter Cindy who always stole the show because she was 10 yrs old and could do belly rolls in either direction. Keep dancing and getting fit!

            Dancing is THE BEST. When I was little I took dance for a while, but then we couldn't afford it anymore. So, to feed my inner-child I decided to take tap and jazz....It's like "Fame" up in there. People are sweating, teachers are clapping out the beats and pushing you... I LOVE IT!!! And it doesn't feel like working out in the least.
