Square Dancing is a Healthy lifestyle
We all know that exercise is good for you, but it all
seems like hard work. Isn't there a form of exercise that is also fun and
doesn't seem like hard work? Yes there is - it's called Square Dancing. The
physical effort made in square dancing results in square dancers outliving the
average person by ten years! Of course, there are many alternate healthful
activities, notably regular brisk long walks, working out at the gym, bicycling,
swimming, etc. But after a few months, most people find those routines difficult
to stick to. Contrast such workouts with three hours of square dancing that fly
by with calories burned equal to a comparable painless 3-1/2 mile run. And it's
so much fun, you can't wait to come back for more!
Square Dancing is Easy to learn
One of the first things we learn as children is how to
walk. In next to no time you don't have to think about how to do it - you just
do it. You don't worry about where your feet go - it's automatic. With most
dance forms you then have to learn to place your feet in specific arrangements -
you have to learn to walk in a different way which is un-natural. Not so with
square dancing. Square dancing is based upon walking in defined directions for
defined distances - which is exactly what walking is. And since walking is one
of the most natural things we do - square dancing becomes so easy to learn.
Square Dancing is Universal
No matter where you go in the world square dancing is
the same. The movements have been standardized and are called in the same way,
regardless of language. The dance programs used are all standardized and no
matter where in the world you learn - you can still dance the same in other
parts of the world. You may not be able to converse with some of the other
dancers you meet - but you can interact with them. Your Square Dance family
truly includes the whole world!
Square Dancing is Entertainment
The caller is there to entertain you - to make dancers
forget about your day to day worries. And it works! No matter how tired you are
from a long day's work, once you start dancing, you become energized again and
forget all your troubles. You'll find yourself dancing to many different types
of music, including country & western, rock, jazz, sing-a-longs, gospel... even
some rap!
Square Dancing is just plain fun !
