This is why dancing is my favorite way of exercising :)

in Fitness and Exercise
About a year ago I used to be much more overweight. Before this, I used to be a dancer but wasn't able to anymore. I decided to make a change in my life. I lost over 40 pounds and was able to dance again. In doing so, I was able to get a job as a dancer teacher and I now teach a dance class to adults with special needs. My group and I made a music video with them this past week to a song called "I'm Not Broken" by Desiah. If I hadn't made that life change, this would not have been possible. I thought I would share it with the fitnesspal community :) Thank you MFP!

    Yes absolutely! When I was doing it, it was just fun and It didn't feel like exercising at all.

    Nice (can't watch the video, but get your point).

    One of the most impressive IMAX movies I saw was "To The Limit", which featured ballet dancing. I knew it required strength, but nothing to this extent. Fantastic film if you have a chance to catch it.
