1. How Did Dirty Dancing Came About? October 06, 2008 Erotic dance is a way for people to express themselves in a sexual way, without actually having sex. In our modern times, many dance styles have been considered forms of this style, as was evidenced in the wildly popular movie, "Dirty Dancing." The fact that people like to dance sexually might trace back to the animals, or it could just be generational expression. But no matter the reason, dancing erotically will always be popular with someone. Erotic dancing can be traced back as far as the Egyptians, and possibly even farther. A lot of modern erotic dances such as belly dancing and hip ... (read more) Author: Mike Selvon

3. How to Learn a Ballet Style Workout at Home September 28, 2008 A concern many dance teachers share is the learn-ballet-online concept.

I've looked at many ballet workouts that you can rent or buy on DVD. They are suitable for retired professionals or advanced students who know what they are doing. Although some come with ballet instr... (read more) Author: Dianne M. Buxton

Dances change so rapidly over the years, and something that is considered a popular dance move one year, might be considered ridiculous within five. Generally, dancing is considered to be bodily movement in some kind of rhythmic way, usually to music. Ballet theater dancing is one of the oldest forms of dancing, and has held its own for centuries. Usually, a ballet dancer is admired by the dancing community because of the difficulty of the moves. France and Italy were the originators of this type of dancing. It is believ... (read more) Author: Mike Selvon

8. Ballet boot September 12, 2008 swiming suitsThe ballet boot is a contemporary style of fetish footwear that merges (the look of) the pointe shoe with the ultimate high heel. The idea (along with the allusion) is to force the wearer's feet almost en pointe, like those of a ballerina, with the aid of long, slender heels. When upright, the feet are held nearly vertical by the heel, thus putting nearly all of the body's weight on the tips of the toes. Some styles are equipped with supports similar to the toe box and shank of pointe shoes, though, unlike those of the pointe shoe, the structural design, construction, and integrit...

9. Sculpting the Tear Shaped Butt September 12, 2008 One the questions that my fitness students and clients often ask me is how to tone their butts. Well, almost any leg exercise will tone your butt. Generally speaking, ballet dancers, sprinters, gymnasts and figure skaters have well-formed butts. That is because they use movements that raise the leg backwards AND turns their foot outwards. Most butt exercises work the leg going front to rear, like running, cycling, stair climber, leg extension machines, squats and some butt isolators. These types of movements primarily work the big gluteus maximus muscles and the thighs. To get m... (read more) Author: Doug Setter

10. Dance Websites Serve As Valuable Information Sources September 10, 2008 Dancing enthusiasts know that the internet is a great place to find information related to dance. After becoming involved in dance, I visit dancing websites regularly. It is my opinion that people who are interested in starting a business in any way related to dancing would be wise to promote their business online. My personal experience is with swing dancing. When I joined my first swing dance class in 2003, I had absolutely no previous training as a dancer. I truly had "two left feet." Even though dancing didn't come naturally to me, I quickly became addicted to moving to music. I met a l... (read more) Author: Chad Michael Lawson

Avoid pain and muscle strain by ignoring some of the drastic measures you will see dancers do. Do not put your toes under the piano, for example, and pull your knees straighter. You are heading for foot injuries. Many years ago a friend, a non-dancer, Vone Deporter and I would do yoga together a couple of times a week in the National Ballet School, in the evenings. We would play some relaxing music and do our own routines. Over the weeks, I felt more flexible,... (read more) Author: Dianne M. Buxton

15. How to Prevent Foot Injuries in Ballet Shoes and Pointe Shoes, Or Without Shoes September 02, 2008 How to use the foot properly in ballet should begin with the first lesson.

17. How to Understand Ballet Stores and the Pointe Shoes They Do Or Do Not Carry August 26, 2008 I am so happy to hear from the many would-be ballerinas of the world. Many of the concerns I get asked about have to do with pointe shoes. The local ballet store may not carry many brands, and ballet students may have trouble finding exactly the right fit.

Ballet pointe shoes - a dream come true - or double jeopardy? What if your local ballet store stocked just a few brands? Out of those few brands. Freed... (read more) Author: Dianne M. Buxton
