Dancing
Hobby nr 23
Hobby nr 23
Another hobby that I practice in my past and I don’t so much now. I practiced in 2 periods of my life, in college, sport dance and about 10 years ago, Latin dance. The movement and the music were great. I love it. I started to have a lot of new discovered muscles in my body as I moved in a way I never moved before. But the schedule was a bit hectic and I had to quit the dancing lessons in both occasions.
One can dance at home as a workout. If you are lucky to know what music make you just out of your sit and move your body, you are set to go and dance with yourself as long as you want.
You don’t need much for this hobby except for you phone and the You Tube Music channel. If you go to a class for dancing lesson they make ask you to buy special shoes and clothes. But you don’t need that in the beginning if you just try a class to see if you like it.
There are all sort of dances and you may not find classes for some type of more special dance. But when I took sport dancing classes were included a lot of types of dances and it was the same with Latin dance classes. For every type of dance you had an hour or two to learn about it. But if you like one in particular and you wanted to study only that type of dance you needed to find an intensive class with that special dance. I just wanted to learn a bit about every one of them. I had to buy special shoes but no other equipment. For example in my city there are Tango courses in which you learn only that type of Latin dance. It is like an art to learn it. My cousin went there and she was so passioned about learning to Tango that she even went to Argentina, the home country of this type of dance.
For me, it was fun to dance twice a week and I felt very good in my body moving so intensely. I started to walk more straight because I had a more correct posture of my back. I had more muscles than fat in my body. But I did take both courses for about a few months each. And at the end of each course there was a party for all of us in which to dance. There were some evenings in which we could meet in a bar with the same type of music and dance there, too. And we also had an international dancing convention in my city as well.
But again I must say that dancing as a hobby in your home is pretty easy, even before to decide if you want to go to a dancing class. You can just move your body to be healthy with a nice song. It can be the same songs every time.
See you in my next post!
