Excellent! It is fun and if you get a good teacher it is great. My teacher is so much fun and we all have a laugh which is good for you!

I'm a dance studio owner and can say that most ballroom classes, the teacher assumes that you have never danced before and start with the basics. They also know you're there for fun, so there are no expectations on the teachers part-each couple learns at their own pace. Know that EVERYONE just starting out feel anxious getting started. IF the instructor is good, they'll make you feel at ease & have you laughing by the end of the first hour. LOL-actually talking to you about makes me realize how I miss teaching those classes. I teach the advanced teenagers in other styles of dance. You know the snotty, think they are better than the teacher ones, who constantly roll their eyes, make sarcastic comments & produce much anxiety for me. Wait a minute! I'm the owner! I'm in charge! I'm changing what classes I teach! THANKS for helping me with a good insight! (The light bulb going on & the DUH moment all at the same time) ~Give it a try...

Moochela, Thanks for sharing this tip with us. A great distraction & some physical activity. Diva, I'm a total klutz most of the time but I can salsa like nobody's business. Most classes take it pretty slow and build every week. Remember, practice makes perfect. Danielle _______________________ The PC Support Team

It really is good fun! Give it a go you can always stop if it is not for you. It is fun, good exercise and takes your mind off things as you have to concentrate. :)

I go dancing once a week - wish could go more often! I do ballroom and latin american dance and it has really helped me. When I am having a panic attack I close my eyes and practice steps in my mind, I count steps and visualise them. I find that in no time the panic has lifted and my mind is relaxed again.
