I have always loved to dance. Marrying a musician, who plays in a dance band is a bit frustrating, but there are all kinds of dances you can do by yourself, or even if you are sitting down. Not only is it fun, but it’s great exercise to boot. In fact, Step In the Name of Life has developed a whole step/line dance program to keep people healthy. In some of their videos, listed below, you’ll see that one of their dancers uses a cane.
Dance alone or with a partner. Don’t have your favorite oldies? No problem, go to Pandora www.pandora.com and select what you like. In can be just as simple as putting in your favorite song and Pandora will create a whole play list for you for free.
Below are a variety of video links to teach you different styles of dance.
In the words of Tracy Turnblatt from “Hairspray,” “Let’s dance!”
The Madison: Having been in the original “Hairspray” movie as a pre teen Mom extra, we danced the Madison at cast parties, on the set and the “counsel members even danced it at the primer in front of the Senator Theater. The dance was featured on a local Baltimore dance TV program called “The Buddy Dean Show.” This is a clip from the Buddy Dean Show but is easy enough to follow.
