“Some people seem to think that good dancers are born, 
but all the good dancers I have known are taught or trained.”
                                                                                                                            Fred Astaire

If you have heart disease or other serious medical conditions that you believe may be affected by this type of exercise, consult your GP before taking up dance as a new activity…otherwise, keep the following points in mind.

Warm up:

Spend a few minutes stretching before you start to dance.
 

Know your own limits:

If you feel tired or short of breath, take a break and sit out the next number or two. 

Although some people will argue that they have two left feet, this isn’t entirely true! We all have natural rhythm in our bodies that’s waiting to be released. 

We won’t all make professional or competitive standards but, does the fact that you’re not a Formula 1 racing driver stop you from using your car?
