DanceStreps-n-Dancing - My Mother was a Dance Teacher.

By Alan Smith

Dancing is my greatest passion. Perhaps that passion is larger than my dancing ability but if you have a dream driven by passion it is difficult to relent. DanceSteps-n-Dancing is a new forum for everyone with a love of dance. Here you may express your joy and share your every thought.

My Mother was a Dance teacher . She had her own dance class and also Instructed at the Major Dance Studio in Melbourne Australia. The city where I was born. She tried to teach me at an early age but I never progressed to a level of being noticed. I refused to follow her dancing talents and I continually rebuffed here efforts. Alas for my dance ability, for she died young seeing only the early days of my manhood.

As several decades past my interests began to change, I again clumsily graced the dance floor and have been doing so regularly , perhaps without so much clumsiness. I would like to think that I am now graceful and that some of my mother's teachings are with me. My wish is that she will know.

Dance and its appeal to our heart and soul is an echo of primal instincts. Many centuries have passed since man began his influence on this planet. As we developed our senses of sight and touch we started our journey forward and when we stimulated recognition of sound we found rhythmic dancing patterns were driven to our feet.

My love for dance and the friendships and the meetings of so many people have brought me to think of dance almost as a way of life. Sometimes in conversation I need to remind myself that others may have differing interests. Interests they might like to talk about too! How dare they! We are all different and that is what makes our world's go round.

My website is not in memory of my mother. She is just there. Perhaps with a guiding hand. DanceSteps-N-Dancing with Dance moves too is a site for you to come and experience the dance thoughts of others. You may post about anything related to dance, tell about your dance steps and dance moves experience, or just tells us your thoughts and memories.

It has a commercial aspect too. Links to sites with free and paid DanceSteps-n-Dancing videos and a special guide on how to build a blog like this one for pleasure or income are scattered through the pages. Here you can preview the different dance styles and find one of your liking.

The physical aspect of dance has helped me to build confidence and a healthy self-esteem. I have gained skills that help with other activities, not to mention the fun! To get the most out of social dancing I found a need to understand the dance. Doing my dance steps as a workout routine allowed me to learn to dance in a easy manner.
