I ran across this and I just wanted to show y'all. I hope that if some of you are in the Boston or San Fran area, you might consider taking a class. I know that I wish I had that kind of group down here (I'm even taking to my modern dancers friends and seeing if we can't get something going on).

Thanks for posting that. I've long been a dancer, and my preferred class was ballet which I studied for many years - I've done it think and I've done it when I was quite heavy (not as easily), but was still able to benefit from being strong and fit. Went to law school a few years ago, so I replaced night time ballet classes with law school classes, and got out of shape. Now that I am older, and my knees are bad, ballet is too tough BUT I've tried ballroom dancing. Everyone can dance.... no matter their size.

That is neat. Thanks for posting....I will have to think about it!

I do a hip hop class, and its fabulous, so inclusive and really fun, but it's full of stick insects!

I love dancing! I'll often load up some loud, bass-thumpin funk tunes on my IPod and just let loose. Love it!

I used to live in Boston. I think I remember seeing a news piece on that troupe, but I'm not sure. Wish I was there now. I'd definitely go see them! Heck, if I was 20 years younger, I'd probably audition!

I'm also currently taking ballroom dance lessons, and loving it! It is helping me with coordination, not to mention breaking out in a big sweat!
