How does dancing help you?

Answer:

Dancing help us reduce stress, increase energy, improve our strength and increase muscle tone and body coordination. It can also decrease our blood pressure, help manage our weight, strengthen the bones of our legs and hips and it can lower the risk of our coronary heart disease. So, what are waiting for? Let’s go dancing.

Alignments from the Ballroom Dancers.com

Alignments

Alignment refers to the direction that the feet are pointing in relationship to the room.  The 3 major points of reference in the room are the Line of  Dance, the wall, and the center.

---

THE WALL

Most room have four walls, but the wall that is referred to when discussing the line of dance  and alignments is the wall that the dancers dance closest to as they move along the Line of  Dance. When you are facing the Line of Dance, the wall will be at your right-hand side.

THE CENTER

There are two centers in the room: (1) True Center, which is the actual center point in the  room, and (2) Relative Center, which is the alignment directly opposite the wall. No matter  where you stand in the room, if you face the Line of Dance, the Relative Center will be at  your left-hand side. Alignments, as they are written in the syllabus, always refer to Relative  Center (which is usually referred to simply as “center”).

FACING, BACKING, POINTING

In addition to indicating the direction of the feet, alignments may also refer to the  orientation of the body or even the direction the body is traveling. When feet are pointing  straight ahead and the direction of movement is forward (straight or diagonally) or side,  the alignment is referred to as “Facing…” (eg “Facing Line of Dance”).

When the feet are pointing straight ahead but the body is moving backward (straight or  diagonally), the alignment is referred to as “Backing…” (eg “Backing  Center”).

When the feet are turned to an alignment different than the body, it is referred to as  “Pointing to” (eg “Pointing to Wall”).
