Live Your Own Fairy Tale With Ballroom Dancing!

Have you ever looked at the fairy tale couples on the screen and wondered, "Why can't we have what they have?"  I'm not talking about towering castles or fairy godmothers granting trivial wishes.  I'm talking about that deep-rooted, eternal kind of romance that makes happily ever after seem like a real possibility.  CinderellaBeauty and the BeastPride and Prejudice--the couples of these stories all have one thing in common: dancing.

Dancing

What did Prince Charming do when Cinderella's appearance stopped him in his tracks? He danced with her.  When did Belle's critical opinion of the cantankerous Beast change to a love that saw past the exterior?  It was when they danced together.  When Mr. Darcy first saw Elizabeth Bennet as a woman he simply could not forget, no matter how hard he tried, what were they doing?  They were at a ball, dancing.

Connection

There are few things more intimate than being locked arm in arm with someone, looking into each other's eyes, and swaying to the rhythm of well-played music.  It is the stuff that love stories are made of.  However, in modern society, it seems to be one of the things pursued the least.  Men invest in chocolates and flowers and suffer through cheesy romantic comedies while women fight to understand sports, action movies, and the intricacies of chicken wing sauces.  Both mean well, but the connections are constantly missed.  Dancing, however, is universal.  Every couple experiences a connection when they dance together.  There's nothing to do but stare at each other and live in the same moment.  Whether that moment is accompanied by friendly conversation or sacred silence, it is a moment that is shared between two people that cannot help but create a connection.  

Inevitably, the first reason couples have for not pursuing this obvious connection is a lack of knowledge or skill.  "I've got two left feet."  "I've got no rhythm."  "I'm too old for that sort of thing."  These are all nothing more than weak excuses.  Dancing is a universal language that anyone can master.  You just need the right teacher and a willingness to learn.  You don't have to be a Dancing with the Stars contestant to sweep your spouse off her feet.  You just have to be able to learn to move with her.  As you learn to do that, the connection will spread to other areas of your life.

Excitement

Dancing is not only good for making emotional connections.  It is also perfect for adding excitement to your life.  There are few things more exhilarating than a good Rumba or Cha-Cha to get the heart pumping.  Show your lady that when she shakes her hips, you can shake with her, and she'll melt in your arms.  Move in a way that accentuates what your husband found attractive when he first met you, and you'll have his attention for the rest of the night.  Ballroom dancing can be extremely sweet, but when necessary, it can be very spicy too!
