Do you like dancing? I simply adore it, but now in our busy life I don't have enough time to do it regularly. And dancing is very useful for our health. First of all, it's a good physical exercise. Secondly, it reduces stress and increases serotonin level, with its sense of well-being. The most recent research shows another benefit: frequent dancing apparently makes us smarter. Dancing increases cognitive acuity at all ages.
"Socrates learned to dance when he was 70, because he felt an essential part of himself has been neglected." ~ Unknown~
A week ago I visited a seminar at some school in Saratov and the studens there peformed an old but well-known song of Dean Martin "Dance with me, sway with me" (1954). I was so impressed and inspired....it's about the beauty of dancing...about people's feelings....
I invite you to listen to the song, to sing and to dance....
Dance with me
When marimba rhythms start to play
Dance with me, make me sway
Like a lazy ocean hugs the shore
Hold me close, sway me more
Like a flower bending in the breeze
Bend with me, sway with ease When we dance you have a way with me
Stay with me, sway with me
Other dancers may be on the floor
Dear, but my eyes will see only you
Only you have the magic technique
When we sway I go weak
I can hear the sounds of violins
Long before it begins
Make me thrill as only you know how
Sway me smooth, sway me now
Other dancers may be on the floor
Dear, but my eyes will see only you
Only you have the magic technique
When we sway I go weak
I can hear the sounds of violins
Long before it begins
Make me thrill as only you know how
Sway me smooth, sway me now
You know how
Sway me smooth, sway me now...

That is something I lack in my life. Dear Galina, you reminded me again to take dance lessons. Ohhh.....
Yeah, But for sure I will..... That was my plan.
The way you wrote the blog is very creative. The title attracts us, and the benefits of dancing, including Socrates were very creative to add in your blog. I learned a lot. Thanks for sharing Galina... ^^
Miley J, how I'm glad to see you commenting my blog. Wow! You love dancing, too.....great! Miley, you can sing beautifully, you write fantastic blogs, you're an attractive girl and, as it turned out ,you're a good dancer......you 're a talented person, Miley! Ok, I completely agree with you that dancing is a nice activity for people to keep fit.
Thanks for sharing with such "dancing" song as "Rhythm of the Night" Debarge. I like the music of 80s....let's sing it and dance all the night...
Rhythm Of The Night
When it feels like the world is on your shoulders,
And all of the madness has got you going crazy
It's time to get out, step out into the street,
Where all of the action is right there at your feet,
Well, I know a place where we can dance all night away
Underneath electric stars
Just come with me and we can shake your blues right away,
You'll be doing fine when the music starts, oh
To the beat of the rhythm of the night, dance until the morning light
Forget about the worries on your mind, you can leave them all behind
To the beat of the rhythm of the night,
Oh, the rhythm of the night, oh yeah
Look out on the street now, the party's just beginning,
The music's playing, a celebration's starting
Under the street lights the scene is being set
A night for romance, an night you wonÄt forget
So, come join the fun, this ain't no time to be staying home,
Oh, there's too much going on
Tonight is gonna be a night like you've never known
We're gonna have a good time the whole night long
To the beat of the rhythm of the night, dance until the morning light
Come, join the fun, this ain't no time to be staying home
To the beat of the rhythm of the night, dance until the morning light
Forget about the worries on your mind, you can leave them all behind
To the beat of the rhythm of the night, dance until the morning light
Forget about the worries on your mind
To the beat of the rhythm of the night, oh baby, I'm crying
Forget about the worries on your mind
To the beat of the rhythm of the night, oh baby,
Forget about the worries on your mind
The music's playing, it's a celebration , the music's playing,
Everybody dance to the beat of the rhythm of the night
Forget about the worries on your mind, you can leave them all behind
To the beat of the rhythm of the night, dance until the morning light
I loved the quotes you used! So accurate. Lovely blog..but why talk? Let's just dance!!!! :))
I liked your blog tooooooooo much and I like dancing on a song....:D
Thanks for sharing with us teacher Galina.
Dinushi, how nice that you're sharing my opinion and like the song and the video. I suppose you like dancing, too.
Then I wish you a happy dancing....
Hello, dear Hala J. M!
It's my pleasure to see you commenting my blog....I completely agree with you....I also didn't hear the song for a long time. That's why when I heard the students sing it, I immediately remembered it and found in the Internet. After listening and enjoying it ten times, I thought that maybe other people want to listen to it, too. This is a brief story of creating the blog...I'm very glad Hala that you like the song, too.
A dancing fairy girl....
Passionate beautiful tango...
Salihbey, I'm very glad that you like romantic dances. I love them, too. Tango and waltz are my favourites. I can't dance tango very well, but I like to do it....I adore waltz...it's so romantic. Last time I danced it last year when my students were finishing school ( 11th grade). I was their class teacher for 7 years. There's a tradition in our schools to hold final parties for students with waltz dancing...
Happy dancing....
Want to share this to all of you.
Besides singing, I love dancing too. I read something that dance is a great cardio workout, it's fun, it's social, anyone can do it, it can keep your brain sharp, it's gentle on the body, it can improve your balance and you don't need any equipment. It will make your body in good shape too. That's why I never skip dancing while singing :).
Thanks for sharing.
Good day!
