WHY EVERY MAN SHOULD LEARN TO DANCE

WHY EVERY MAN SHOULD LEARN TO DANCE

The honest truth about dancing today is that men are a rarity, which is sad considering how beneficial it can be across the board. Whether you're a single guy looking for a way to meet women, or happy in a relationship and looking for a new hobby to try with your partner, dancing benefits everyone, and it's only within the last few decades that dancing has dropped in popularity and as a social "standard".

Back in the 50's and for centuries prior, everyone danced and not just at weddings. Guys and Girls used to swing, jive, tango at clubs and discos in order to not only meet people, but as a fun way of getting active. In the Victorian and Elizabethan eras it was a standard to dance at local functions to meet prospective brides and suitors. In South America, the best Argentine Tango dancers were the ones who got the respect and the women (Scarface anyone?).

So let's look at the benefits.

SINGLE GUYS LOOKING TO DANCE


Guys, do we all remember when "Step Up" came out and how every woman seemed to constantly fantasise about Channing Tatum? Yeah, he didn't do us any favours with that one. But it was not just his body and personality that caught their attention, it was also his ability to dance. Dancing is about form, passion, control, and these are generally considered to be extremely attractive characteristics in a male. What more powerful or passionate way (with clothes on) can you think of to be genuinely intimate with the fairer sex? It demonstrates that you have an active and interesting hobby, you are creative in mind and body and that you know how to handle a woman correctly.

GUYS IN A RELATIONSHIP LOOKING TO DANCE


Whether or not you're looking for a new hobby to spice up a relationship or you've both shown interest, learning to dance in a couple or for your partner is extremely beneficial. Remind her you're a passionate guy, surprise her with your new talent, spend some quality time together, learning together, growing together. Take a second to think about an activity you can do together that doesn't involve alcohol, sitting down or being competitive. Getting the picture?

GUYS IN GENERAL


In a broader sense, dancing improves cognitive ability, multi-tasking with both your mind and your body which opens up pathways in your brains allowing for more creative thinking. It has been shown to improve posture, improve your balance, is a great low intensive cardio workout, great for widening your social circle and in turn will improve your confidence. As a general rule, the male leads any dance, and as that male develops their dancing skill, they develop their level of confidence. Now the skills I have just talked about not only refer directly to dancing, but to the rest of your life as well. Do yourself a favour and improve yourself across the board (and dance floor).
