Why Dance?

Today I heard a radio commercial for the Pottstown Ballroom. The commercial emphasized the fitness and the social aspects of ballroom dancing. I was pleased to hear the commercial and I appreciate the jist of it. The picture of Jerry and I on the first page of the studio website is a perfect example of the nice result I am enjoying since my recent quest to improve my fitness level. Yes, I changed my diet, I changed my exercise habits, but mostly I proceeded with an effort to improve the way I feel and the way I look when I dance. It's been a terrific journey and I hope I stay on this road.

This is Sandra Fortuna and Jerry Harrison dancing during the pro-am Silver American style waltz at the Yuletide Ball, Dec 31. We dance because it is a way to answer the question, "What's next?" What's next after you acheive a bit of success in your career, begin to prepare for your future, finsh raising your family and paying for your house? This is what's next: dancing, improving your fitness, enjoying the cameraderie, enjoying the sense of moving through time and space, maintaining awareness of your physique and glamour quotient. You can do it all just by participating in partner dancing.
