Do you like to dance? Did you used to like to dance? Why don’t you dance? There are many reasons mostly stemming back to some sort of rejection or negative comment around our dancing. We dance from a very young age. Give a baby a beat, and they get moving. Give an adult a beat and many will look around to make sure they are alone before they start moving, if they move at all.
You’ve all heard “Dance Like Nobody’s Watching”. I like “Dance Like EVERYBODY’S Watching.” Of course I’m a bit of a spotlight hog so that works for me. Even if you’re not, think about it for a second – when you know someone you want to impress is watching, whether you’re dancing, working or even just walking across the room, you step it up a few notches, don’t you? So I’d like to propose another saying all together – “Dance No Matter Who is Watching!”
No matter what it is you’re doing, be brave, take a risk. The risk takers are the ones who have success, who inspire others, who have more fun.
In this video, Dancing Nana, this 80+ year old woman is dancing because she loves the song and she loves to dance. Doesn’t it make you smile and say “I wish I was like that”. Well, you can be, just dance no matter who is watching. Be sure to watch until the very end. It’s worth it.
For this man, he doesn’t care about his big tummy. He doesn’t care who’s watching (or filming). He just loves to dance and
he saw an opportunity to do so. I’d follow him over the fit class leader who looks like he’s not having any fun at all!
It’s time to get our groove back on, no matter what. It’s fun. It’s good for your heart. It keeps you young!
In order to help you get your groove on, join us next Saturday for a Dance Walk. Dance Walking is a way to get out with a group, dance while you walk and have a great time! We have done 2 dance walks in the city so far and have another one scheduled for Saturday April 6 at Southgate Mall in Edmonton. We will meet at the Crate and Barrel at 2:45 and start dancing our way through the mall at 3:00 for about half an hour. Bring your own music and headphones as we will dance to our own beat. We have such a good time and there is safety in numbers. Once you do a Dance Walk you will want to dance everywhere you walk!
Whether you dance with us, in the store when you hear a song you like, in a club or in your home, get your groove on. And if someone is watching, enjoy it and give them a good reason to watch!
