Why you should learn dancing?

Because dancing is a form of foreplay.

But that is not the only reason why we should learn it.

Here are the key benefits of dancing:

1. It is the greatest stress buster known to man that burns calories also.Could you ask for more? Compare this with the other conventional stress busters that people use .

TV

Alcohol

Drugs(i hope not)

Something more dangerous...

Clearly, if you are looking to release stress and also a few pounds, this is the way to go!

2. It's open for all. The biggest advantage of dancing is that you don't need to go out of your way or tap into your retirement savings to learn the ropes. It's not like learning golf where you spend a year of your time and money just to get a swing going. You already have a certain genre of music which you love ,don't you? And every music has its own kind of dance. All you need to do is find a place to practice where they play your kind of music.

If you are thinking I am too old, visit your local salsa club this friday. You will probably see suave 60 year olds gracefully charming their ladies while the poor 20-something lot is staring on with a beer in hand.

3.The social aspect. Let's face it, all of us could do with a boost to our social lives. Most normal lives are so devoid of juice now-a-days that people can literally fall asleep talking about their lives. Dancing will surely put the spice back into your life.

If you have a girlfriend, boyfriend, husband, wife, significant other as they call it, wow, this might just be the gift you need to give each other. As a single guy, I cannot quote personal experience, but reportedly many couples say this is the best form of relationship therapy available out there. And it's a heck lot more fun than going to a counselor and answering all kinds of weird questions about how many times you do it per week.

If you are single, and particularly a guy, oh boy, the opportunities that life has to offer are endless. Let me spell it out for you, so you don't have to make the mistakes I made.

In a nightclub, she doesn't care how much money you have, because girls are allowed to have jobs these days.

Your smart jokes ain't no good because she can't hear you over the music.

The only way you are getting anywhere is if you can charm her with your dance skills. Simple as that. So guys, really learn to get good at this.

Want to know a life changing secret?

Then listen up: Dancing is the only valid excuse you have to be alone in a nightclub. Frankly put, if you are alone in a club and you can't dance, in her eyes, you are a hopeless stalker/pervert out there to prey! Not a nice first impression guys.

So there goes. We have looked at a short-n-sweet list of the key benefits of dancing. What are you waiting for? Grab those shoes and hit the dance floor!
