The countdown to Valentine’s Day has started!

That’s right boys and girls.  We have less than 30 days to figure out what we are going to do for this Valentine’s Day holiday.  Some of us will go out… Some of us will stay in… Some of us will be stuck working (just one of the perks of the service industry)… But all of us will be doing something to honor (or dishonor) this upcoming holiday.

My favorite way to celebrate any holiday is to go out and go dancing.  No big surprise there.  But what is surprising is the number of other people who celebrate through dance.  We dance at weddings.  We dance family reunions.  We dance at tailgate parties (don’t think for a second I didn’t see you be-bopping around to the radio with a chicken wing in one hand and a frosty beverage in the other).  We dance in our kitchens when no one is watching.  So why should Valentine’s Day be any different?  We are celebrating love… the hunt for love… the hope for love… and our desire to be loved.  We should be dancing with all the love and joy in our hearts.

Wait a second – Don’t tell me you don’t dance!

As children, we all dance.  I’ve got two nephews that can prove it.  At any given time, be it car, canoe or K-Mart, if they hear even the faintest music, they are dancing to it.  Mind you, they aren’t going to win “So You Think You Can Dance” anytime soon.  But they are having a great time and they don’t care who is watching them.

Something happens as we get older.  We get insecure and lose our confidence.  Rather than having fun and enjoying ourselves like children, we worry about looking silly and unattractive to others.  But some of us overcome this and still enjoy to dance.  Those who do not overcome these self-imposed setbacks, long to dance.

The perfect gift - A lifetime of dancing together.

Unlike a membership to the jelly of the month club, the gift of dance keeps on giving.  You get to spend the rest of your life enjoying the benefits of learning to dance…  Improved confidence, better connection with your partner, and the ability to make any night out, a romantic night out.  Plus, you get to really wow them at the next wedding or family reunion.  Click here to see if learning to ballroom or swing dance is right for you.

As always, I look forward to seeing you out on the dance floor,
