If you think you have two left feet but would love to be a good dancer then why not try your hand at dancing?

That's exactly what I did five years ago and I immediately got the bug; I have stayed hooked ever since. To me, dancing is a magical experience: I've become fitter, look younger and feel more confident. I enjoy it so much that I will never give up this healthy pastime.

It's very sociable as well. You meet people and make new friends while dancing the night away. Haven't you heard stories about how dancing inspired new romances or rekindled old ones? My friends Joe and Rena just had their big day a few weeks ago after they met each other at a Ceroc workshop some three years before.

The word 'Ceroc' comes from the French language. It's best described as a fusion of salsa and jive, but without the complicated footwork, so it is more accessible to beginners. Another good thing about Ceroc is that while it is a partner dance, you don't have to bring a dancing partner.

Other popular styles of dancing in the UK include ballroom, belly dancing, lindy hop, salsa, tango and tap dancing, just to name a few.

No matter what types of dancing you do, one thing is guaranteed: you will become fitter. For office workers like me, dancing is good cardio exercise after a long day sitting in front of the computer screen. It also strengthens your muscles, improves your coordination and boosts your physical confidence.

Few people will end up being queens of the dance floor. The aim is not to win a competition but to enjoy the interaction. As long as you have a good repertoire of cool moves, keep the rhythm and most importantly maintain an encouraging smile to your dancing partners, you will always be a winner!
