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

By Alan Smith

Do you wish you could dance? I'm a guy with a passion for Dance. Perhaps my passion is greater than my dancing ability but that can never stop my dream. DanceSteps-n-Dancing is a blogging forum for everyone to express their every thought and to share their every joy.

As a Dance Instructor my Mother's first love was dancing. She had her own dance school and also Instructed at a renowned School in Melbourne Australia. Melbourne is my birthplace. My mother wanted me to join her dance classes at an early age but I was reluctant to follow in her footsteps and I continually refused her efforts. My younger days of dancing were short lived for alas my mother died young seeing only the early days of my manhood.

It was many years later that I awkwardly graced the dance floor, and have done so ever since, perhaps without the awkwardness ( at least I would like to think so) I may one day place a video on this page for you to decide. I have one wish and that is for my mother to somehow know I am dancing as she wanted me too so long ago.

Dance is a reflection of our most primitive instinctual behavour. Other skills you'll develop as you learn to poise and grace and encourage coordination and muscle strength are particularly important in later life, The rhythm and balance that our bodies inherit from dancing are engraved in out hearts forever.

My liking of dancing and the many friends I have made has introduced me to a new way of life. I need to remind myself that other people may have different interests. When talking to people away from the dance scene I find it necessary to become a listener for I now realize they too have passions of their own.

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 tell us your thoughts and memories.

It has a business aspect too. DanceSteps-n-Dancing has links to sites with paid and free dance steps, dancing videos and how to start a blog like this one to express your own thoughts or produce an income are gathered through out the pages.

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.
