Dancing to Don’t stop the party by Pitbull – Cha Cha, Hustle, Merengue

Posted on by

Dawn and I dance Merengue, Cha Cha, Hustle and West Coast Swing to Don’t Stop the Party by Pitbull. You can dance like this by visiting our website and checking out our videos on how to ballroom dance.

In this video we dance a Merengue, 4 count Hustle because the song is pretty fast for 3 count Hustle at 127 beats per minute, Cha Cha and West Coast Swing. We start with simple dance patterns and get more advanced.

This is social partner dancing not professional show or competition dancing. We are dancing lead and follow which means she does not know the steps I am going to lead until I lead them. This the style of dancing that is mostly enjoyed by millions of Americans. Very few people do competition ballroom dancing.

Dance excuses – I’m too tired to go out dancing

Posted on by

If you feel like you are too tired to go dancing I know how you feel. Yet, every time I go dancing as soon as I hit the dance floor I feel alive, excited and full of energy. The music starts to energize me, the woman in my arms smiles at me. After a night of dancing, that is sometimes only an hour or two, I sleep much better and am ready to have a fun productive day the next day.

So I challenge you to get off the couch and head out to your local ballroom dance. You will feel better as soon as you get there.
I know you may not know how to dance or don’t have a dance partner. We will cover those topics in future episodes of the daily dance video blog.

Thanks for tuning in!
In harmony,
David
