Learn To Salsa Dance

I saw this video of a dog salsa dancing and just had to post it. I’m sure it took quite a few lessons to get him dancing this good.

Zumba has taken the world by storm in the past year. Everyone is talking about it, it’s mentioned on the news at least once a week and you can find it offered at just about any gym you visit. Zumba has reached critical mass and for good reason. It’s tons of fun!

If you don’t know what Zumba is, it’s a cardio workout which combines the dancing styles of salsa, merengue, mambo, hip-hop and belly dancing.

The people of Columbia, South Carolina seem to enjoy Zumba so much that they decided to go for the world record of the largest Zumba class ever. Approximately 1,200 people showed up to the class at the University of South Carolina, which crushes the old Guinness World Record previously set at 900 people.

I regularly keep track of dance related topics people talk about in social media and one that constantly comes up are movies and television shows that inspire people to learn how to dance.

Out of the many reality television shows about dancing, the two most popular seem to be Dancing With the Stars and So You Think You Can Dance. I’ve also seen a lot of interest lately in the show Live to Dance which is judged by a panel of three people including Paula Abdul.

Then there are movies. There are tons of movies that inspire people to dance, but only one champions all others – Dirty Dancing. Every time Dirty Dancing airs on television, I see Twitter and all of the other social media sites flood with comments about wanting to learn how to dance.

I think it’s great that more dance shows are starting to get slots on prime-time television and that dancing related movies continue to inspire people to move forward with their dreams and hopes of being able to dance.

Go out and rent Dirty Dancing and tell me it doesn’t make you want to learn how to dance.
