Why Did You Start To Dance?

Each of us has our own story and motivation that pushed us to take that First Step…

Maybe you had a crush on someone and they invited you to dance.

Maybe you were looking for the next physical challenge.

Maybe you wanted to ward off aging in your body & mind.

Maybe something changed in your life and you needed to be around people and have a great evening.

Maybe your relationship was stale and you wanted to re-ignite the spark.

Maybe you needed a creative outlet to pour yourself into.

Maybe you needed more physical contact than social media allows.

As a college student I came to dancing after a lot of persistent invites from my friends and the realization that I had NO social life.  (I suppose there’s more to life than classes, practicing trumpet, and studying.)  So, since my friends kept insisting I would enjoy the YSU Dance Club (Go Penguins!), and I certainly needed the social outlet, I joined them for an evening class.

As awkward as I was that night, I’m so glad I pushed through the fear and insecurity and took the first step.  My first moment of dancing with an instructor, all the fear went away and I realized I had found an activity that I would always have in my life.
