It is essential for
couples to have shared interests. Once you have a pastime or activity you enjoy
with your partner, you spend more time together and have more to chat
about. Ballroom dancing
is a hobby for creating bonds that strengthen your relationship. What you and
your partner can expect:
1. More fun
People who dance are
happier people. You are more likely to go out, meet new people, and generally
have a brighter outlook on life. When people are happy they have more
fun. Couples have the advantage of having a “built-in” dance partner, allowing
you to dance whenever you like. Whether it’s on a cruise, at a nightclub, or in
your living room with the furniture pushed back, anytime is dance time.
2. New experiences
When couples start
dancing they will naturally gravitate toward places to dance. As non-dancers,
these are not places you would have discovered. You will be drawn toward
like-minded people; this will lead to meeting new people who also dance. It
could also mean getting your existing friends involved in dancing, so everyone
can join in the fun.
3. Better communication
As couples learn to
dance they are either reminded or learn how to communicate better. In the
beginning wives don’t want to discourage their husbands, so they complement
more often, and vice versa. As you dance verbal communication gives way to
communication through the movement of your bodies. The man leads a movement and
the lady responds by following. This type of communication forces you to be
more in-tune with your partner, thus leading to more open communication off the
dance floor.
4. Exercise
During one ballroom lesson you
can burn over 500 calories, and it’s much more fun than going to the gym. It
will also give you a “dancer’s body”. It strengthens your core muscles,
tightens your bum, and improves your posture. All this while having fun and
strengthening your relationship.
5. Better sex
Ballroom dancing is
very sensual. You are in each other’s arms, your bodies are touching, and
you’re completely in sync. Combine this with the endorphins released from all
the fun and exercise, plus better communication, and you will have an extra
spark in the bedroom. Being in better shape also increases your stamina and the
extra blood flow from all of the cardio… well we know what extra blood flow
will do for both of you.
These are only a few
of the benefits couples will gain from ballroom dancing. Ladies, if you are
having trouble convincing your husband to take that first dance lesson, just
skip to the bottom of the list. Once he takes that first lesson he
will be hooked. The two of you can then enjoy dancing through the rest of your
happy lives together. Enjoy!
