The girl that wrote the ES article (assuming I am thinking of the same one) is a regular at Cambridge Ceroc - there were some envious people on Wednesday when we discovered she had danced with Anton.

From ballet to ballroom, street to salsa - there's something for everyone.

We've checked out a few styles for you to try but if none of them get you in the groove, remember there are dozens more to choose from.

The BBC have heard of Ceroc.
When selecting three dance styles out of the myriads available, they decided not to include Ceroc.
Or Outer Hebridean Three Step.

Not really -- I appreciate that standing up burns more calories that loungeing about -- but with the advent of slower music, etc. I remain less than convinced about the cardio-vascular benefits. Especially when most dances will probably be at a speed less than walking pace -- especially for leaders.

Do you get a good solid 20-30 mins with your heart operating at 65-80% of maximum -- for instance?

A few supporting references would be nice :)

I agree. More to the point, you develop muscle memory (and yes, technique) in each dance form, to the point where you generally use less and less energy per dance IMO - certainly I'm less tired at the end of an average night than I was a few years ago, for the same amount of dancing, and I don't think I've suddenly got fitter in that time.

Salsa - exactly the same. I guess I'd burn up maybe 250-300 cals per hour in salsa. OK, again beginners make it more effort, but even then, the 200-400 calories per half-hour estimate is insanely high - that's more than you'd burn off in a reasonably intense CV exercise or class, and I just don't believe it.

If you try and cultivate a smoother dance style (with less bouncing :eek: ) you can end up just moving less than you did as a bouncy beginner. I reckon it's easier for leaders to do this though.
