BALLROOM DANCING
The sport: Balloon dancing.
Originating in 18th and 19th century Europe, the couple dance was originally performed only by members of the upper class at social events.
Variations: Today, there are two styles of ballroom dancing: American and international. The international division includes standard dances such as the waltz; quick step, for trot, lungi and the Viennese waltz, as well as Latin dances such as the cha cha rumba, samba jive and the piano dance. In American dance, Stanley vice president of KU Danceport. American-style dances are more formal and include rhythm dances such
as the cha cha, rumba, swing,
mambo. EAST Coast swing
and boiler, as well as smooth
dances such as the waltz, fox
trot, tango and the Viennese
waltz
calories burned: Ballroom dancing can burn more than 300 calories an hour, say Carl Inzerli, physician at Inzerli Family Practice, 3320 Clinton Park Ct. That is more than three times the calories burnt by walking a mile.
Muscles worked: Dancing strengthens muscles in the arms, legs and stomach Aerobic exercise works all the big muscles in the body, making it both a means for weight control and a way to improve self esteem and sociality, says Sainte Barrand, ballroom dancing instructor for Lawrence Parks and Recreation.
The workout: While performing international-style dances like the waltz and the rumba, you are often stretching from side to side strengthening the muscles in your arms. Also because taking the steps requires a lot of control, both
fast and slow paced dance exercises build strength in your legs, she says.
