FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

BEST WAY TO LOSE WEIGHT*-Learn to Dance at JUST DANCE BALLROOM!
*(& stay healthy)

OAKLAND, CA –  December 2007  Marie Osmond lost 30 lbs. and 4 in. off her waist while dancing on the ABC 7 TV show “Dancing with the Stars!!!” What more incentive do you need to have fun and look GOOD for the holidays and start the New Year 2008?

Learning to Dance is the BEST alternative to joining a boring, smelly gym to get in shape.  Many times interest in a gym membership diminishes after the first month or so.  It’s just too much work, and after working all day, who wants to go to the gym and work some more?  Dancing, on the other hand, is fun!  And contrary to a gym membership, the more you come dancing, the more you like it!   It’s addictive, but in a GOOD way. 

Recent studies have proven that dancing is good for your health.  Dancing engages all of your body parts in a low-impact activity.  “But, don’t think it’s a lightweight activity,” says director & dance instructor, San Manh, “you get a terrific cardio-vascular aerobic workout, and learning dance steps helps improve memory.”  The physical activity of dancing is good for heart & pulmonary health, blood pressure, diabetes, arthritis, losing weight, positive attitude & improved disposition and more, because keeping your body & joints active, especially as we all age, is beneficial.   “The side benefit of learning to dance is that you smile more because it’s fun and a great social outlet,” he continued. 

Great social outlet indeed!  Perhaps we should have titled this press release, “Meet your Future Significant Other while Learning to Dance,” as many of our regulars have stories about how they met while dancing and ended up marrying their dance partners!  “Guess they liked their partners’ moves,” said Paul Yee, president and also a dance instructor.  “Ballroom dancing IS a partner dance, and I guess it is only natural that as we pair up singles and rotate partners during our lessons, that compatible people naturally find each other,” he continued, “but in a comfortable, non-threatening environment where that is the side benefit, not the main objective.  See, learning to dance IS fun!” 

Conveniently located just off Hwy. 880, exit 23rd Avenue in Oakland, JUST DANCE BALLROOM is open 7 days a week and offers a full lineup of dance lessons taught by patient & professional dance instructors.  Singles welcome! Incentives for Beginners include ‘absolute beginner’ lessons, and for the shy, private lessons are also available.  Take that first step to learn a skill that you will appreciate for the rest of your life.  Check the website for details:  www.justdanceballroom.com or call 510 436-9888 for more information and gift certificates.
