As therapeutic as it is recreational, dance is a powerful modality for self expression. From ancient times to the present, dancers have expressed ideas, stories, and rhythm with their bodies. Today this form of self-expression is moving into the gyms and studios across America. Statistics from the International Health, Racquet and Sportsclub Association, a Boston-based group that represents clubs across the United States, show that half of all gyms offer some type of dance-based class. Dancing is aerobic, non-repetitive, weight-bearing, stimulating, social, requires balance, focus, coordination, and is just plain fun.

If you are a ballroom dance teacher, this is your time! Much of the interest in dance now is focused on the competitive version of ballroom dancing. This is attributed to the recent recognition of DanceSport as an Olympic sport by both the International Olympic Committee and the United States Olympic Committee and to the popular TV shows such as “Dancing with the Stars." Even college students in colleges such as Harvard, Yale, MIT, Princeton, William & Mary, Catholic University, University of Maryland, and University of California hold regular competitions and festivals which are attended by cheering crowds.

We invite all the dance teachers to join together and take advantage of the swelling popularity of dance to help bring health, self-expression and joy to the world.
