Question:

What type of dancing should I do?

I have never danced before, well ballet when I was 5, but nothing since then. I thought about salsa, but I think of that as a sexy dance, and I'm a very shy person. I'm not too unco-ordinated, but I'd like an easy type of dance to start out with. I'd like to also improve my fitness level through dancing, but I'm not very fit, so I'd like a dance style that will not be too strenuous, but also challenging. Does anyone have any ideas of what type of dancing I should do? I don't think ballroom is my style though, although I'm open-minded about it. The rumba looks like a fun dance, but would a Latin dance not be right for an introverted person? Thanks for any answers.


Best Answer - Chosen by Asker: Modern ballet or classical ballet. Perfect for a shy person - - - it's controlled moves and very graceful. Not only does it tone up your body (also not strenuous), but it benefits your posture and you'll learn to carry yourself well when walking. My daughter took classical ballet from age 10 to almost age 15 1/2. Money well spent.
