Dancing is GREAT exercise for the body.  I'm not so sure about the mind.  Some of the stupidest mistakes I've made in my life have happened shortly after dancing, if you know what I mean?

I'm a dance teacher and not everyone can feel the rhythm. If its coming up soon i would go see your music teacher that can teach you about beats and feeling the "1" of music if you can recognize it then you should be able to transfer that into your feet.  If you have some time take a hip hop class at a local studio.  Not only with it teach you to move to the rhythm, but it will also teach you body movement if you have a good teacher and you will not look as stiff and awkward

Why don't you ask your friends to teach you...this is NOT the hardest dance to learn, basic Salsa is easy, fun, and you will learn moves as you dance...a good leader will "make' you do your stuff. Good luck

Of course, its a very good cardio exercise. Make sure you eat and sleep properly though.

Part of why you don't like it is because you haven't learned how. It probably wasn't somthing done very often in your household when you were growing up. But this practice has been around for centuries. Back ages past it was a way to get close to a woman you were interested in, and if you could move at all and still smile sweetly as you gazed adoringly upon her, then you were the object of all woman's affections.\nLearn some older steps first in a classroom setting. It will give you a good foundation for learning more moves and modern dances. Once you've got the hang of moving your feet to the beat, and not being stiff kneed or staring at your toes... then you can learn some dances in a more social environment like a country bar and pick up some of those fun line dances.\nBelieve me a man who knows how to move on the floor will have more successful moves off the floor if you take my meaning. Plus it's a great excuse to hold a woman close, even strange women!\nEnjoy!

I'm assuming DDR means dance dance revolution...    I've only played it a few times but overall its pretty fun and gets your heart rate up and you probably break a sweat...  These things along with fun with the b/f make it a perfect easy way to exercisein my opinion. I guess how much weight you could potentially lose depends on how long you do it (10 minutes, 30 minutes, 45) and how high the intensity level is.  If you feel like you aren't loseing enough weight this way maybe add a few extra minutes a day or increase the intensity.  But overall even if the pounds don't fall off, this is still a fun awesome workout and your overall health will be better regardless of what the scale says too.  Plus the workouts and bf time will probably make you feel good in general-- more energy, confidince etc...  Good luck!!

ABSOLUTELY NOT!  At 13, first of all, you don't need to worry about losing weight, you may still have a bit of baby fat but that's okay, you'll grow more and the fat will redistribute itself.  To be a good dancer, rather than being thin, you need to have a high endurance level, a good sense of balance,  and work on strengthening your leg muscles and your ankles.  Do lots of stretching exercises and practice your basic skills.  Concentrate on the position of your body and your arms as well as on what your feet are doing, and eventually the body and arm positioning and movements will become second nature to you.  Most of all, practice, practice, practice, practice.  Even 10 or 15 minutes of working on the five positions, three or four times a day is good; hour-long sessions once a day or so if you can manage it is better.  Your local library should have a selection of "how-to" videos that you can borrow, or you should be able to rent one from your local video store; or pick up an instructional book on ballet at the library, the illustrations should help. Ask your mom if she would consider buying you an inexpensive, full-length mirror for your room so you can see what your feet and body are doing.  If you are already enrolled in dance, don't be afraid to ask your instructor for pointers and for extra help if you need it, she wants you to become the best dancer you can be.  Practice sessions with a classmate can be fun, as well and you can help each other.  Yeah, I know, but I took dance myself when I was a girl, and my daughter took it for several years as well.  Break a leg! (Showbiz term for good luck)

I am not sure if you mean Glasgow Ireland or Kentucky, but there are a lot of dance classes for adults, and it's so much fun!\n\nJust start calling around the dance studios.  People interested in dance are often at the same functions and very networked.  In the meantime, you can check out ebay for instructional videos- I have gotten some really good ones!

go to tumbling classes!!!!  I do not know how much I can stress that.  If you can't really tumble or look as if you have no potential in tumbling, you won't have a good shot making the team.  Also work on jumps, this means stretching and working out your legs for more power.  Email me if you have more questions, and I can give you some advice.

You know, God gave your your body and your mind and that is what makes up your soul. If you look deep within yourself you will realize the inside is the beautiful part. If god allows you to keep dancing then dance out your story dance like you have never danced before, DANCE like it is a privelidge, because dancing, life mind body soul ARE a privelidge. There is nothing then a greater gift then a life changing experience so take this one  and use it. Crying wont fix anything..so go and dance for what you love even if you cant actually dance.

I go swimmimg/running/ to a friends house to make some dances to songs. I do them to get out of the house and to be active and keep in shape.

Sure, any kind of exercise will keep you fit and healthy!\nBut if you're asking about whether it burns more Calories or whatever, then it DOES NOT become fun. It just becomes routine, you get sick and tired of it and eventually you'll start passing out because you keep pushing yourself to stay on your feet, thinking about Calories, not having fun.\nI always find this helps me... Turn the lights off. There's just something so much more different about dancing in the dark. I have a mirror-door wardrobe thing and so my room is surrounded by mirrors, really. Turning the lights off and closing my eyes just helps me focusing more on that relaxed feeling than worrying about look/rhythm. But you have to keep in time with the beat of course, otherwise it just doesn't work out.\nDepends on which kinda music/dance you're into, I usually go for the techno/disco/industrial stuff, it makes me happy lol ^_^

restrict yourself to 1200 calories per day\nexercise for 30 mins each day\ndrink plenty of water\ni'm doing it right now,\nand i'm only a little bit lighter than you.\nnot by much.\nand i can do it -\nso, so can you. :)\n\nsend me an email\nmulldacity@yahoo.com\nmaybe we can encourage eachother on!\n\n♥\n\nPS:\n\nChromium is bollocks - it'll help a little, true, but I don't think that person understands what it means for the truly overweight. I've taken it before, and unless you eat healthy and exercise, it's not going to really give you any noticable difference.\n\nAnd yeah. Trainers? Pfft. Why? I play DDR for about 30 mins,  workout mode, heavy, then I do floor exercises until I'm tuckered out.
