The reason I started to take ballroom dancing is that about 5 or 6 years ago I went to a wedding. During the reception there was dancing. I went to dance or should I say move around. Later, one of my relatives was watching a video of the wedding and said that I looked like a joke on the dance floor. Being overweight, this hurt my already low self-esteem.
A couple of months later was our anniversary. I then asked my wife if she would like to take ballroom dancing with me. She said yes, so we looked in the phone book and found Fred Astaire dance studio.
Not only was I overweight but I also had two left feet. I had fun and I was treated like one of the family. Soon I was dancing and having a ball. After about ten lessons we showed much improvement. I also lost one left foot.
Taking ballroom dancing is one of the best decisions I ever made. People now see my dancing in a whole new way. So if you want to have fun and be a part of something even if you are overweight this is for you too!
