Salsa Dance: The Greatest Secret to Health, Fitness & Happiness
Today, I wanted to share with you the greatest secret I've
discovered in my relatively short life. It goes to the very core
of what people desire in their lives, and it boils down to
simply this. Dance! What's the big secret about that, right?
Well, it's a little complicated. Why Salsa Dance? Why dance at
all? It's not terribly easy, and it does take some time and
effort to get proficient at it. You risk looking foolish, you
have to interact with other people, conquer your fears of the
unknown, and it often costs you money to do it. But if you
remember anything from this report, remember how important it is
to take that first step!
I want to tell you what makes it so great! I'm going to detail,
in a simple list, the benefits most people find through dance,
and salsa dance in particular (ok, I may be a little biased -
these benefits do apply to all types of dance). ;) These are in
no particular order, as I didn't want to choose what's benefit
is more important than another.
1) Social Benefits: You'll meet more people dancing, than in any
other single activity on the face of the planet! Singles bars?
Ha! Health clubs? No way. You'll laugh at the things you used to
do to meet people, because once you dance, it all becomes so
easy - it's effortless. We devote an entire newsletter to this
later on - so stay tuned, but rest assured your social,
business, and play network (of friends, associates, and ...)
will grow exponentially. Once you learn this single, amazingly
fun skill, you will never be far from being able to meet
someone, and have an immediate connection. No matter where you
are in the world, no matter what language everyone speaks - It's
nothing short of miraculous!
2) What if you've already found that special someone, and you're
not looking to expand your social circle? Well, the benefits to
couples, married or not, is equally as impressive as point #1.
The bond it will create between the two of you, and the immense
passions that will ensue, will (re)-ignite any relationship.
Once again, its got to be experienced to be believed, but, a
couple that dance's together, stay's together! Dance is the
answer (specifically salsa dance - I just had to say it . . .
again). ;) It helps you relate to others in a passionate,
honest, and unique way.
3) Confidence - You'll become more comfortable with yourself,
and you'll find your confidence affects every aspect of your
life. You'll find confidence that extends to many aspects of
your life, far beyond your dancing. Yes, this confidence will
begin to show itself after your very first lesson, just by
conquering your doubts and fears, and taking action to better
yourself. As you progress, so will your level of confidence in
what you can do! Everyone will see the difference - your
friends, your boss, your family. We're not talking about
confidence in your dance abilities, but rather, confidence in
yourself. Dance has powerful benefits that simply are not
readily apparent when you get started.
4) Self Expression - The ability to express your self, verbally
or with movement, is important to us all. Perhaps you'll have to
hear and feel the music first, to fully grasp this one, but the
ability to express yourself, with another person, to beautiful,
exciting and passionate music, fulfills a basic human need (that
you may not even know you have). Especially in an Urban jungle,
or in the confines of your cubicle or office, and throughout
your work life, opportunities to truly express yourself are few
and far between. This will make you a happier person, and
provide you an outlet that perhaps you did not even realize that
you needed. There's one way to find out - and it requires you to
take that first step!
5) Weight Loss - Self explanatory. You lose weight, you feel
better about yourself, you live longer. Personally, I used to
weigh 40 pounds more, and had tried every diet on the planet!
Who would have though, all I had to do was dance. I wish I had
known about this earlier. More on this in a separate newsletter
- coming soon. Long and short, dance will help you lose weight,
and get fit. In addition, since it's so much fun, you'll be
doing more of it than any other exercise I can think of.
6) Flexibility, Coordination and posture: Not only will these
benefits affect you, but they also affect how people see you at
first glance. You'll have better posture, and hold yourself
better - you'll even walk better. It's just that good.
7) Happiness and Fulfillment - I'm not going to get religious,
or too spiritual, but we're all here to lead good lives. To
affect others, or to find our places in the world, is no easy
task. To be honest with ourselves is difficult, and that says
nothing about being truthful to others. Dance is a way to
happiness! It's a way to become honest with your self, and to
eventually find that fulfillment that perhaps is lacking.
And finally, is dance truly for everyone? Really, can anyone do
it? Is this the answer for every person that has a problem on
the planet? The lonely? The overweight? The old, the angry, the
disillusioned, the poor? In my eyes - yes, it can provide an
answer to almost everyone. Not everyone can become the greatest
dancer in the world, but everyone has something to gain from the
effort. Some people will be affected more than others, some
people will try it and move on, but everyone needs to make the
attempt. The more reasons you can think of NOT to do it - the
more you're probably going to benefit from it. I can say that
from personal experience!
This report just scratches the surface. I mean it - you'll have
dozens more topics to add to this after your first month. And
more than that, you're going to have a great time taking these
classes, adding a passion and a skill to your life that's going
to last you forever. So? Take that first step! Learn to Salsa
