Learning to dance gives you confidence, improves social skills and is great exercise.  
Many people have met their significant others and best friends through social dancing.
Learning to dance is also good for the brain and is equivalent to learning a new
language. When older people learn to dance it improves their cognitive skills. No
wonder they say that dancing keeps you young!
Learning to Dance with a Partner
The best way to learn to dance is to find a group class or private instructor. If you can't
find a class try instructional DVD's.  The most popular partner dances are ballroom,
salsa and swing dance.
