Reasons to Dance, Jive, Waltz, Samba, etc

For some reason, dancing tends to be thought of as being a pastime mainly for women despite the fact that many a well known male dancer has appeared on stage and screen. How many times do you hear of men going to a club purely for the love of dancing The typical excuses men give are to have a pint, pick up a girl or some other similar excuse; in fact anything but admit they like dancing for fear it would affect there masculinity This is a great shame as dancing can hold a great number of benefits for both men and women alike, such as: -
