Why do I love salsa dance? Salsa remains such an enjoyable social activity. Whether it be the intensity and excitement that you feel when you are on the dance floor dancing the night away or when you have just danced an hour straight and now you are ready to hold that fabulous drink on your hand. It all comes down to one thing, you are there for the passion of the music, for the love of Salsa dancing and of course to step into a totally different world that lets you escape life for one night.  Salsa dancing contributes to a lot of different aspects. It is an excellent form of exercise for the mind, body and soul. It’s that rush of being on top of the world!

 According to BBC report, salsa is a good exercise because of its nippy tempo, with dancers burning 200 to 400 calories in a half-hour session. Whether you  choose to dance Bacchata, Merengue, Cha Cha, Cumbia, Tango, etc.,  dancing keeps your bones strong, helps people deal with their weight, and even helps to lower heart rate. Salsa has been proven to be a great form of exercise and is a great energy booster increasing endurance and stamina ,boosting weight loss, and helping the body release toxins naturally.

Did you know that through salsa dancing it can help you to cope with heartache, ease the pain of those who are experiencing divorce, cure boredom and above all give you that natural high. It also provides a safe and effective way to improve your mood and give you a greater sense of well being. In addition, dancing requires memorizing steps and working with a partner, both of which provide mental challenges that are vital for brain health.

So grab a friend or two and make those plans for Salsa dancing this weekend. Good luck and live the passion through Salsa!
