New Dance Day

We had a lot of fun last week trying not one, but two new dances.

BUT WAIT! THERE'S MORE!!!!

Join us next Tuesday, September 25th, to learn Cshebogar, a Hungarian/Roma dance.

To get a preview on YouTube, click here or here or here. The choreography does not exactly match any of the videos, so we may just end up coming up with our own, Yellowknife, spin on it.

The benefits of dance

CBC's The Passionate Eye has a new documentary this week on aging. One of the aspects they looked at was the effect of dancing on the elderly. The study found that dancing was better at building muscle strength than a conventional gym workout.

The study was small, but continues a trend in research that shows that dancing is not just fun -- it is really good for us too.
