Using Line Dancing as Exercise
Dancing may be fun but it isn’t always exercise…
I have had this article idea for a while now which I planned to do here on my blog. The idea was to talk about how dancing, while fun, isn’t always exercise.
When you “exercise” you basically have to get your heart and lungs and muscles exerting enough effort so that the body is “stressed.” We’re talking “good stress” here. Because when the body is stressed, in a good way, the body responds by becoming stronger.
And that is how you get healthier! Tah-Da!
Unfortunately, when you are in the studio practicing different dance techniques, your body is not always being stressed. You end up doing the same movement over and over again which can increase flexibility, agility, and muscle control, but it is NOT stressing the cardiovascular system.
>>> SIGH <<<
So, this idea for an article has been dancing around in my head for a while (pardon the pun). I was going to go on for a bit with my usual drama. *GASP* Do I hear my dearest readers crying out “Tony? Engage in Dra–MA?! Him?”
Oh shush! You guys be quite! 🙂
Anyway, before the inner audience in my head so rudely interrupted me …
Hmmm… why do I feel like I’m in a Read the rest of this entry

Dance Floor Etiquette
Yes Virginia, there are rules…
Since dancing is a social activity, there are rules of conduct, norms of social behavior which keep us from punching out the lights of someone who may otherwise justly deserve it. 🙂
I’ve written a new article over on Squidoo about these “Rules of Etiquette” for the Dance Floor.
The photo on the right is the famous Blackpool Tower Ballroom in Blackpool England. It is host each year to a wide array of events including weekly social ballroom dancing and annual world-class dance competitions.
See ya on the dance floor!

My Five Favorite Dance Films, Plans, & Writing
I’ve been busy writing…
Ok, folks who are following my blog may have noticed a lot of “I’ve got a new article over at Squidoo” posts. Well, folks that is where I’ve been spending my time for almost the past month.
When I’m not sleeping, I’m writing. And the reason is that to make money online as a writer there is a certain critical mass that has to happen and I’m working like a mad man right now to create that “critical mass” and reach the point where, months down the road, when I have to either be be “self-sufficient” and “self-employed” or I have to find a 9-5 job, I can be on the “self-employed” side of the ledger.
Which means I’ve been writing like crazy now so that then I don’t have to job hunt.
Make sense? I hope so.
