Dance Your Way…
By Keith Jones
Dance your way into each other’s hearts and lives. Consider taking ballroom dancing lessons before your wedding. This is an amazing activity that will bring any couple closer over the weeks or months that lead up to their big day. Waltz, tango, and salsa are my favorites; each dance is a perfect way for the gentleman to showcase his bride and pay tribute to her with each step. The dance you choose to perform at your wedding will bring you closer together and dazzle everyone in attendance.
Physically, ballroom dancing is great exercise. It requires good posture and lightness of step for each person. With the man’s frame set, the lady gracefully and elegantly finds an intimate place in his arms. The cardio exercise and closeness of ballroom dancing are sure to get you in shape for your wedding and make your heart race—if it isn’t already racing!
Mentally, you are required to be present and in the moment so that you can grasp the steps. The male must learn to lead. His energy and frame must communicate messages that are both clear and loving to his potential bride. In return, she must be as attentive and responsive to his direction as she is lovely. When both parties are focused on listening to each other’s bodies, they make the dance look beautiful.
And emotionally, ballroom dancing moves you from your soul. You feel alive. If you relax and make it an absolute priority that each movement you make on the floor is a symbol of a step you are taking for your partner, it will translate into a waltz or tango that is perfect because it is performed with love.
So if you are looking of a way to celebrate your commitment before, during, and after your wedding, consider ballroom dancing. It will make you dance inside forever.
