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!
What is Dance
Published July 15, 2009 | “Dance (from French danser, perhaps from Frankish) is an art form that generally refers to movement of the body, usually rhythmic and to music,used as a form of expression, social interaction or presented in a spiritual or performance setting.”
To me, dance is moving your body to the music. But there are many different types of meanings for the word dance. It is a verb as in “to dance about” and it is a noun as in “we’re going to the dance”. It is a form of exercise as well as a way to socialize. We learn how to dance when we are little and some of us go on to be professional dancers. And sadly, some of us refuse to dance after Middle School because we were too embarassed about our abilities. HOWEVER, if anything we hope to encourage everyone to dance.
I like to dance in my living room to whatever music is going on with my grandchildren, my children are too embarrassed to watch me now, but my grandkids thinks its fun. Of course, when driving down the road listening to my favorite tunes I’m doing a little jig with my hands and feet. Dancing is a right of passage and does not require any formal training just the ability to sense the rhythm in the music and moving your arms, legs and body to the beat!
Have fun and dance a little everyday!
Welcome to the Dance Info Blog
Published May 4, 2009 | Hello everyone! We are creating an information resource for those of us who would like to learn more about Dancing. This will include what is dance? What are the types of Dances? Where can I learn how to dance? As well as whatever else we can thing of to help the novice dancers.
This is not a professional resource for those who dance for a living (of any kind). I like to dance and I would like to learn more about it. THIS IS A FAMILY BLOG! Any comments or posts from subscribers or links to other sites should all be rated “G”. Check our Privacy Policy page for more information on this.
Since, I am located in the North Florida Area most of the information I have available will be in this area. For those who have found us from other areas of the country or in the world then feel free to become a “contributor” and you too can make new posts as well as upload pictures or “how to” videos.
I will only be able to make a new post about once a month or so but I will try to add new pages and information in the links as I come across them or they are suggested to me.
