I started doing Salsa over a year ago, and more recently Bachata. Probably the single best scary decision I've ever made.
It's my view that when you're dancing, I mean really dancing, everything else just fades away. It's just you, the music, and if it's a partner dance, your partner. It's practically a form of meditation. Probably one of the ultimate cures for depression.
- maaaats 13y agoI started dancing Boogie Woogie two years ago. A month ago us 5 dance-couples danced a choreographed routine in front of ~600 people having paid to watch us and other dancers. It was the scariest thing I've ever done walking in, and walking off the stage was maybe my proudest moment ever. Weirdly enough. So I second your recommendation of starting to dance. And I recommend Boogie Woogie. It's a fun dance with a lot of moving and playing. Look up Torbjørn and Susanne on YouTube, the World Champions.
- viraptor 13y agoYou also get an instant friendly community in pretty much every bigger city if you dance something popular (like Salsa). This is great when traveling.
