"The Magic Of Dancing Is Love"," From antiquity up to the present, dancing has been a traditional part of wedding celebrations and celebrations of birth in many cultures.
In particular, belly dancing has ancient roots in weddings, fertility, and birth celebrations; love songs often accompany these dances.
Not surprisingly, modern evidence shows that having supportive women friends present during labor helps a woman during the birthing process.
Smiling is especially important in dancing; dance instructors often remind students to smile during performances.
""Every time you smile at someone, it is an action of love, a gift to that person, a beautiful thing,"" said Mother Teresa.
Dancers often organize benefits and perform at fundraiser's for charities that support research and cures for diseases.
I organize an annual charity performance at a nursing home.
I was touched when the director of the nursing home told me that the residents look forward to my group's performances so much that they post our pictures where they can see them all year long.
She was inspired to do this by her own experience with cancer, believing that dance and social networking help in coping with the stress of a cancer diagnosis.
Dancing helps these couples express their love and support for each other.
Love creates the biology of happiness and positive energy
Research shows that women facing cancer who are members of caring support groups have better outcomes than those who are not.
Dance classes are a great way to meet new friends; many close friendships are forged through dancing.
Showing love towards animals directs positive energy to them too.
Partner dances such as ballroom and salsa include a loving touch, since hand-holding is often a part of these dances.
Other studies have shown that having a pet to love is good for human health.
Express your love today
A dance student told me that she started taking belly dancing classes for her husband's benefit, as a loving gift for him.
Show your love for someone special today! Here are a few ideas:
Think love: send good wishes to all your friends and family, especially those who are sick or coping with stress or sorrow.
Read love: look for the theme of love in everyday stories in the news.
Sing love: sing a love song to yourself in the shower.
Give your loved ones a smile and a hug today!
