Hello readers!

One of my favourite ways to get exercise is by taking dance classes. I love dance classes because they aren’t a workout that is JUST an end unto itself… as Jerry Seinfeld once said (and this is a paraphrase),  “So… you’re getting in shape using the workout… so you can do the workout?!?!!?”

Besides dancers having bodies that are famous for their beauty, dancing is an art form that happens to use your body. You meet other people who are just as passionate about dance as you are and make friends, you can go to performances to be inspired to work harder, you learn to interpret music, you experience different cultures and you barely remember that you’re working out! It’s the best way to get in shape in my opinion.

I’ve taken it all– African, Hip Hop, Ballroom Dance (Salsa, Merengue, Cha-Cha, Paso Doble, Tango, Waltz, etc), Ballet and Contemporary. My absolute favourites are Contemporary Ballet, Lyrical, Contemporary and of course Hip Hop!!!!

My favourite places to dance in London are The Place and The Pineapple. You can find any kind of dance you want between the two of these! From Egyptian to dance supporting exercises like Pilates and Yoga.

I absolutely love dancing! What is your favourite way to work out?

See you,
Elodie
