Dance in your head and in your heart when it’s not possible to dance on the floor
5th of 20 reasons why dancing is great for your wellbeing. Here's the full list.
In an earlier blog I stated that dancing isn't everything, it's just well ahead of whatever is in second place.
Dancing in your head has also been touched on in a different blog entry
Whether driving in the car or working at home, I find that the radio station Coast 105.4FM Auckland provides great music to dance to in my head. http://www.thecoast.net.nz/ListenLive/ The timeless music they play is almost exclusively ballroom and Latin rather than salsa, but that's ok. While I am driving, some of those waltzs just sweep my imaginary partner and me around the floor in a perfect partnership. Ok it's all in the head while driving, but almost just as real.
When I saw Burn the Floor in Auckland earlier this year, there were a significant number of older people, possibly former dancers, who needed physical help to get into the show. I am sure that although they are now forced to only dance in their head and heart, the experience is a storngly positive one.
Here are a couple of people who I have just discovered share my passion for dance and know what it is like to dance in your head and heart:

You can dance anywhere, even if only in your heart.
