HEALTH & EXERCISE: Hate exercising well great, because dancing is a true aerobic exercise program that anyone can do and it helps one's circulatory system, enhances muscle tone, balance, and stamina and burns off unwanted calories. Through constant movement, muscle extension and stretching, you can tone your body and improve your image. We consistently hear that it's a great mild exercise, but I am still losing weight.

SELF CONFIDENCE: Feeling confident in public settings, especially when dancing while people look on, soon gives one attributes of creativity, energy and self-esteem. This aura carries forward to many other aspects of their personal and business lives, providing a clear sense of confidence, happiness and excitement.

CREATIVITY: The Fred Astaire method of instruction and curriculums allows the student to learn how to dance, not just a particular dance. This enables the student to learn the basic structure of each dance and then add their own special individual style and rise to any occasion that they may encounter on the dance floor. This is called "American Open" style dancing where one can be as creative as they want, blending personal expression into every dance.

RELATIONSHIPS: The Magic of Dance can be your key to open doors to meet new people, build friendships and even rekindle relationships. Regardless of your gender, age, or marital status, what a great way to break the ice by asking someone: "May I have this dance?" Whether you are single, divorced or widowed, male or female, there is nothing like asking or being asked to dance at a nightclub or any other social or business function. Dancing also helps bring couples together. Many empty nesters to senior couples find that dancing rekindle a romantic spark that sometimes escape long-term relationships. So get out and strut your stuff and make a lasting impression.
