About Nancy Arenas
Nancy Arenas declared herself an ambassador for “Dancing for your Health” when she became Chapter President of USA Dance – North Central New Mexico – Chapter 5047 in 2008.
While pursuing her dancing interest she was hindered by physical conditions and began looking for a form of exercise that might help her with her dancing and her physical shortcomings. She found Nia and became a certified white belt instructor. Nancy has studied martial arts since a young age (Shotokan, Tang Soo Do, Kenpo and Kung Fu) and the incorporation of martial arts, healing arts and dance arts in Nia attracted her to this form of exercise.
Nancy is a Ballroom Dancer, DJ and hostess for the “Fusion Tea Dances” which she has subsidized and sponsored since 2009 here in Albuquerque offering affordable dancing opportunities and an atmosphere that welcomes beginners to Professional Ballroom dancers with a “fusion” of music that can encompass three or four genres of dancing to any one song. Also, you can find Nancy every Tuesday and Thursday morning at 7:30am, “Dancing with the Bars”, a movement exercise program she provides at CSP Dance Studio in Albuquerque NM as your Exercise Guide.
Nancy is on a mission to bring awareness to everyone about the positive health effects of exercise and dance. She believes in educating the public about this easy, fun and enjoyable way to exercise and dance and do your body good in a wholesome way. The beneficial effects of exercise and dance encompass an array of nourishment for your whole self.
If that is not enough Nancy Arenas is the Assistant Executive Director of New Mexico Dental Association. As such she handles the membership of the dentist in New Mexico and also organizes and arranges their publications (NMDA Directory and NMDA Journal) and meetings such as the Annual Seminar at Sea CE Getaway including the big Dental Annual Session held every year at the Albuquerque Convention Center in June that welcomes 1900 attendees, 35+ speakers and more.Nancy Arenas

I am a public relations student at the University of Maryland, and in one of my classes we are studying the role of blogging in an organization’s digital strategy. I was assigned one of our dance groups on campus (Ballroom at Maryland), and I have been looking at a number of other dance blogs such as your own to provide recommendations to Ballroom at Maryland. By Tuesday I have to talk to one of the bloggers to get their perspectives, so I was wondering if you wouldn’t mind answering a few questions. If it would be easier, I could call you, you could respond to this comment, or you could email me. I would greatly appreciate it!
1. Have you every heard of Ballroom at Maryland?
2. How do you think new media should be used to reach an organization’s publics?
3. Do you think that there are other individuals in new media (blogs or other forms of social media) Ballroom at Maryland would benefit from engaging with?
4. What do you think are some of the benefits and/or challenges to blogging about the dance industry?
Thank you so much!
I’m sorry to say I have not heard of Ballroom at Maryland.
I think that the new media is a fast and easy way to keep people connected and informed quickly on many things.
I believe that there are many individuals in new media that engaging with could not only be enlightening but even fun.
Some of the benefits as I stated earlier is the way to communicate with more people in a fast efficient manner, The challenge is to get people to the web pages and to be educated on those same benefits.
I hope this has helped.
