Is Dancing Built Into Our Bodies
Published March 20, 2010 | 
You know I have often wondered if dancing was part of our being or souls. We all like to dance in one way or another. Since caveman times we have produced music and moved our bodies to that music. We as individuals and as a group have always come up with ways to “Dance to the Music”. Whether that dancing had a purpose such as to bring on the rain or to celebrate as in thanking whatever gods were worshiped at the time for a bountiful harvest. We have even come up with dances to inspire mating. That is the main reason I believe that dancing is built into our very bodies. Mother nature requires us to propagate or ensure that the human race continues so we must have the dancing gene built into us to further that end.
Granted some of us are better at dancing than others just as some of us are better at attracting a mate than others are. So, even if you think you cannot dance you just need to believe that the ability is hard-wired into your system. All you have to do to bring it out is to TRY. Learn new steps, practice them by yourself if you are not real good yet! With all the books and videos out there about dancing you are bound to find one that you can comprehend. As we said in an earlier post dancing is great exercise and can be fun if you don’t worry about what other people think and just do it. Remember if cavemen can do it you can too!
Bookstore Offerings
Published February 16, 2010 | If you haven’t had a chance to look over the learning materials offered in the bookstore you should give them a try. We have bookmarked books and videos about dancing, learning different dances and much more. We all have our reasons for wanting to learn to dance and buying some materials to have on-hand will get your started in the learning process. Click on the page above or click here: http://allaboutdancing.info/wordpress/dancing-bookstore/.
As I was cruising along the internet I thought I would find other sources of information on the web about dancing. Here are a few that I came across that I thought you might want to look at:
http://www.learntodance.com/
http://www.learning2dance.com/
http://www.centralhome.com/ballroomcountry/video_store.htm
These are a few of the interesting ones I found in the google search engine. The each offer some good information, some free stuff and some stuff that you need to buy. But as we are just getting started with this dancing blog and it is just for beginners some of the above sites are sponsored by professional dance studios. Use their information and enjoy the free stuff. And of course, we do appreciate any purchases that you would make from our bookstore.
Dancing is for everyone!
New site Updates
Published June 9, 2009 | As we begin our journey on learning how to Dance I have added a bookstore. I am by nature a book learning however I am trying to learn by doing. To cut down on the embarrassment I am looking for some videos I can plug into my DVD player or videos to download on my computer. So, I found this amazon bookstore to create and hope to be able to buy instructional books or videos as I can. I hope you will find these useful as well. Buying them from our bookstore will give us a little bit of change to keep the blog going.
