Ballroom Dancing

I love ballroom dancing. I took a few lessons a few years ago (before my surgery). My husband doesn't dance but would love to get back into dancing. Such good exercise and fun. Can't afford the classes again so that is not an option. Any ideas? [email protected] -113 lbs RNY 3/6/03 Dr. Huse Indianapolis, IN.

There are lots of great videos out there for you to learn by. My husband and I brushed up on our salsa using video/Dvd's. Do an internet search for the type of dancing or music followed by instruction or video or dvd, you should be able to come up with lots of websites. Local libraries might have videos as well. Good luck Karen

Hi, I also love to ballroom dance as well as salsa and other latin dances. When I can't get out or attend group events, I do it at home. there are some great workout videos with latin and ballroom dance moves on them. You're right, they are great workouts and if it gets you moving - more power to ya! Hope that helps. Jessica RNY 5/17/04 -5lbs Dr. Chute Minneapolis, MN [email protected]

Hi all, I like ballroom dancing, but would like it more if my husband was interested. I don't care for dancing with other men. I have been getting involved in the dance forms that don't require a partner. Anyway, maybe some day I can convince him to take some classes with me.

Once upon a time when I was thin, I was a semi-professional dancer, dancing for the Chiefs (football team) and such. I never learned how to ballroom dance, but would love to. I would have to find a partner, though, since my hubby couldn't dance to save his life & doesn't care to. I just heard that someone is trying to have ballroom dancing become an Olympic event. I would get into that, after I have my surgery, if I could afford to get started! Sam
