Where Do You Go To Learn Ballroom Dancing?

You watch it in the movies, you watch it on TV and you suddenly you want to put on those dancing shoes and twirl around the room. Or maybe you think it's a great way to get your daily dose of exercise because it looks like a lot more fun than that boring gym you've enrolled in. Never mind the why, ballroom dancing is sure to have you hooked so what you need to do is to look around and find out where you need to go to in order to learn to dance.

  

Most newcomers are a bit shy and scared. Well, that's how everyone feels before they join, so you are no exception. In the last 10 years, there's been an explosion of ballroom dancing classes so it shouldn't be difficult for you to find one. You can do a personal, one on one kind of class or you can go to a regular class with a partner or you go there and you are allotted a partner. Then again, today you can pick up an instructional video and practice those moves at home.

Good places to look for regular dance classes are the newspapers and the Internet. You get to choose exactly which ballroom dance you want to learn and also find out how much you will have to pay out. Some sites on the Internet have video tutorials where you can watch and learn for free. Scout around as well at any dance class close to where you stay or work. Go ask the dance studios near your place if they have adult dancing classes and the timings. Sometimes, there could be crash courses or dance camps that will be held so you need to keep a sharp eye out for these announcements.

You could also try the university or colleges because a lot of them offer dance as a subject or as a physical activity. So the chances of them holding classes for the public will be good. These you will find, are usually also very affordable.

You'll never know just how enjoyable ballroom dancing can be till you go out there and learn. So if you think that you would like to dance, go join a class as soon as possible you'll be so glad you did!

'Dancing' pros fake it till their stars make it

On “Dancing with the Stars,” the celebrities change each season, but most of their moves remain the same. Of course, that's to be expected in a competition centered around a familiar staple of ballroom standards. Those samba steps and whirling waltzes are strictly by the book.

5Top: Fancy footwork! Top ‘Dancing’ pros

Though he’s never waltzed a celebrity to a win on “Dancing with the Stars,” Ukrainian Latin champ Maksim Chmerkovskiy tops the professional heap. That’s partly due to his taskmaster-like approach to whipping the stars into shape, which allowed him to take both boxing progeny Laila Ali and former Spice Girl Mel B to the finals, and partly due to role as ballroom eye candy. Shallow? Sure! But in a competition that’s as much about form-fitting sparkling pants and tear-away shirts as it is about the perfect paso doble, Chmerkovskiy never disappoints.

Did anyone really stand a chance vs. Kristi?

Another season of “Dancing with the Stars” is over and Kristi Yamaguchi stands victorious. Her expected first-place finish marks the first win for a woman since the show’s premiere year and capped off a season of overachievement from the world figure skating champion. In fact, on finale night, host Tom Bergeron said Kristi raked in more points than any celeb in the show’s history.

The good, bad and cheesy: 'Dancing' hits 100

Tuesday night, the typical "Dancing With the Stars" results show gets a temporary makeover as the program celebrates its 100th episode.

Also-rans such as Jerry Springer and Wayne Newton will grace the floor, too, but here's hoping it's in a strictly non-dancing capacity.
