Over 3 years ago, I signed up for some workshops at Dance to Live. At the time, I thought I’d be getting a quick and easy “how-to” to be able to get by at an upcoming friend’s wedding. To my surprise, I really enjoyed the workshops and was hooked. I signed up for the beginners salsa classes and after 3 years, I am still going strong with the classes.

Looking back at myself in the beginning, I was very hesitant and self-conscious of the way I looked. Well guess what, in the beginning, we all looked awkward but we actually felt it much more so than what came out on the dance floor. Over the past 3 years, I have gained an internal confidence, not only with my dancing but with myself as well. Not being a svelte person, self image has always been a struggle, but since I have continued with the salsa, the struggle is not as much of a problem anymore.

In conclusion, I have to say that I really enjoy, and look forward to my classes every week. It’s a great place to meet people, all of whom have the same interest at hand. Also, believe it or not, it’s a great work-out. If you are like me, you may not like the gym scene, so consider dancing. Not only are you doing something fun, but you are getting a great cardiovascular work-out as well."
