Dance Sport, Exercise and Health

"Dance Sport, Exercise and Health"," Personally I am not in favor of this.
 Nonetheless, I feel that all Olympic events should be decided on technical and verifiable rules and regulations.


That said, I love dance sport.


Dance sport views dance as a sporting activity.
 There are also team events.
 Originally this dance form developed from competitive International Style.


International Style Dance sport comprises:a Standard Section, a Latin American section,a Ten Dance section consisting of 5 standard and 5 Latin dances, and a Rock 'n' Roll Section.
 Amateur competition levels are designated by the letters ABCDE, E being the lowest with A the highest.
 Class C dancers are only allowed to perform dance steps from the syllabus.
 Ballroom dancers cannot avoid putting great strain on the second metatarsal bone.
 The rise and fall of slower dances such as the foxtrot and waltz puts great strain on this bone.
 It may be three months or so before competition and flat out dancing is possible.
Often dancers will practice five times a week for hours on end.
 There are accounts of girls being told that they are overweight and then losing as much as 42 lbs in weight, developing anorexia with it's attendant hair loss, depression, cessation of periods and sleep disruption.


Dance as a means of overcoming physical and mental health problems is well documented.
 This is a condition where the spine is curved and twisted.
 Some of the symptoms of the condition are backache, shortness of breath, digestive and mobility problems.
His wife was also his dancing partner.
 Teachers were also not necessarily understanding and sympathetic.
 Both he and his wife often ended up with sprained ankles and grazed knees.


After twenty years this enormously courageous man went to the United States to undergo a treatment new at that time.
 He was made even unhappier by the knowledge that dancing was not only his wife's form of exercise but was also her principal hobby.
 Gradually they improved with practice.


After four months of lessons this man and his wife entered their very first Senior Competition and gained 7th place: a tremendous achievement.


There is also a report written by a woman injured in the Bosnian War.
 She is now unable to tense her left foot, in fact she has no feeling at all in the foot.


Those people who are relying on exercise as a protection against heart attack should think again.
 Good health and lessening the risk of heart attack and stroke has a second factor: diet.
 We have all heard this a thousand times.
 Nevertheless, food habits are amongst the most difficult to alter.


There is no doubt that dance sport is a healthy means of exercise, self-expression and the competitive spirit.
 Over stressing the body leads to the exact opposite of what one if trying to achieve.
