DANDODANCE - Calgary

Physical: Dance is a great workout. Every day you discover new muscles which have been strengthened, but it’s up to you to decide how far you want to push yourself.  Some people seek strenuous physical activity, while others prefer mild exercise. It’s up to you to decide. Dance overall will increase awareness of your muscles, coordination, balance, strength, and flexibility.  Your physical awareness will grow and your physical health/strength will improve daily. There are no limits to your capacity. Proof of this is observed at popular events such as the Olympics, and Cirque du Soleil. We humans push our physical boundaries to new heights! Dance allows us to do that perfectly.

Social: Dance allows you to be a part of the social dance community. It can increase the number of friends, connections and contacts you have in your life. Imagine being surrounded by like-minded individuals who love to dance, and express themselves. Now also imagine yourself being surrounded by friends, dancing with them, laughing with them, enjoying spending your time with them and having a blast because you’re free to be yourself. Now also imagine yourself having a normal life waking up, going to work, coming home, watching TV, going to sleep, then repeating the same process all over again, sound familiar? When you dance, you have a network of friends who are happy and full of life! You’re invited to dance parties, birthdays celebrations, weddings, and you will begin find that you are filled with social activities that enrich your life. After all, we humans are social creatures. One way we can exist healthily is through our relationships to each other! Making friends and interacting with like-minded individuals is crucial to success in life. We are most happy when we can connect to other people, and are able to fully express ourselves in an honest, open and sincere manner.

Professional: In the dance community, you meet friends with the potential to be business partners. Many people have expanded their social network through the dance community.  A large number of professionals from various industries who have become passionate about dance are able to get the opportunity to advertise their services at big city events like The Calgary International Salsa Congress or Rocky Mountain Dancesport Grand Prix to their newfound network. We all have unique gifts to give and share with others. The more friends we have, the more we are able to help people with the unique gifts we possess. Through each other, we may expand our experiences and thus our existence!
