Salsa Dancing. What is it that makes it popular today? Why is it that people who salsa seems to be happier, in better shape and in a better mood compared to others? From these questions we see that there are two major roles dancing salsa plays in people’s lives: they are healthier and they have a great social life.
We all know, having heard or read somewhere, about the health benefits of dancing. Here are some of the more prominent ones to be considered:
• It’s a great cardio activity that is fun; it’s a lot easier to spend three hours dancing than it is to spend forty five minutes on the treadmill.
• You burn 450 calories per hour while dancing. Isn’t that amazing?
• Your balance and posture improves.
• You loose weight.
• Your flexibility increases.
• It helps develop better circulation.
• You will have better coordination.
• You gain long-lasting energy as your metabolism increases.
• It helps you work through or reduce other major health problems (e.g., depression).
SALSA舞
是什么令它在世界各地如此受欢迎呢?为什么跳莎莎舞的人看起来更开心,而且有比其它人更好的体态和心态呢?
从这些问题中,我们可以看到跳SALSA在人们的生活中扮演两个主要的角色:
更健康,和更好的社交生活。
我们都经常看到或听到跳舞对健康的益处,下面是一些比较常见的:
1.更有趣的运动,花三个小时跳舞比起花四十五分钟在跑步机上跑步听起来更有吸引力。
2.跳舞燃烧的卡路里是450卡路里/每小时,很神奇吧!
3.提高你的身体平衡能力、改善你的体态。
4.可以帮助你减肥哦。
5.增加你的身体灵活性。
6.改善身体血液循环。
7.帮你获得更好的肢体协调能力。
8.增强你的身体新陈代谢,从而让你工作和生活更有能量。
9.它还可以减少你患心理疾病的机率哦(如抑郁症)。
So if these reasons alone aren’t enough to understand why people pick up salsa dancing, let’s analyze the social aspect of it. We all come from different walks of life; some better than others, but for the most part the one thing people mutually seek is the feeling of being important, of having a purpose and belonging somewhere (e.g., to a community or group of people with common interests or goals). That is where dancing comes in: the means to a better end, building confidence and a sense of self that will drastically improve your quality of life. So how does salsa dancing help fulfill this ultimate goal?
如果单单这些原因不足以让你理解为什么人们会热爱SALSA舞,那我们来从社交的角度来进一步为你分析一下。
每个人都来自各行各业,社会地位和经济状况各不相同,但大部分人在这个社会中其实都在寻求一种被重视感和归属感。而跳舞能帮你做到更好:它能帮你建设自信心和自我意识,并大幅提高你的生活质量。
那么, SALSA是如何实现这些的呢?
Here it goes: Salsa dancing…
Inspires in you a positive attitude towards your daily life. Okay, I understand that you don’t want to become the greatest dancer, but dancing helps shift and balance your mental state to a positive one. The best way to achieve this is by doing it often. Since dancing and the social contact uplift the spirit, if done regularly, it helps your life to become that way (positive, happier). Your daily activities become more pleasant as your overall mood is uplifted through dancing salsa. No wonder people say that dancing changes lives. I’ll say it better: “Dancing changes attitudes; positive attitudes change lives.”
一、激发你对日常生活的积极态度。
我明白,大部分人都不奢望成为伟大的舞蹈家之类,但跳舞有助于将你的情绪平衡在一个积极的状态中。实现这一目标的最佳方法是经常跳舞。因为舞蹈和积极的社 交活动会使你精神振奋,如果长期坚持下去,你的日常生活也会因为SALSA而变得更积极,更快乐。难怪有人说,舞蹈改变生活。而我有更好的理解:“舞蹈改变态度,积极的态度改变生活。”
Helps you to meet new friends. So here are a couple of questions for you: How many long-lasting friends did you make the last time you went to a social gathering? Or a bar (the bartender doesn’t count)? Here is the answer: NONE. Salsa dancing is the perfect social ground for new friendships. You know why? Because from the go, you already know you both have something in common, something that you can talk about. You also get to dance face to face (no offense hip hop), and are able to exchange a small conversation as you dance. This contact is the perfect beginning for a more developed conversation, which usually involves more people. And guess what, these people also like salsa. Next logical step: Let’s get together to have a barbecue!
And from this the next common thing to happen is….dundundunduuuun….
二、帮助你结识新朋友。
首先你在心里问问自己:你上次去一个社交场合或酒吧(酒保不计)的时候,交到了几个长期来往的朋友?我想大部分人的答案都是:无。而SALSA是一个完美的让新友谊滋生的温床。
原因?因为去跳舞的那一刻起,你已经知道你们都有一个可以一起谈论的共同点。你们还可以面对面地跳舞,并且在能够在跳舞的时候聊天。这种接触方式是一群人 进行更深入交谈的完美开端,而且这些人都喜欢莎莎。而接下来,按照剧情发展,很可能就是:我们一起去烧烤!(或者去沙难、去游泳等等)
You meet a special someone. How nice is the fact that you both love dancing and can share a favorite activity from the start? Forget about the awkward first date, and think about that next time you go dancing! As a bonus, that person is likely well groomed and in great shape! Yahoo!
三、让你遇到一个特别的他/她。
你们从一开始就可以分享一个最喜爱的活动,这是多好的事?没有了尴尬的第一次约会,想想,下一次你们一起去跳舞!而且BONUS是,这个人很可能身材很不错的说哦(因为经常跳舞嘛,嘿嘿!)
You increase your self-esteem and confidence. If you are shy, this is the safest place to interact with people. The salsa community is an open and extremely friendly one. From the moment you walk in the door, you will feel welcomed – it’s that easy. As you learn how to dance, you find yourself in a situation that is fun, open, and energizing. Don’t forget about the exhilarating Latin music! Watching yourself lose weight, learn how to move well on the dance floor, and constantly improve is an enormous boost in confidence! As a girl, there’s nothing more satisfying than having guys constantly asking you to dance (and more!). As a guy, being able to go up to the sexy girl you never would have dreamed of talking to and asking her to dance is an accomplishment that will change your world. Now you will have the boldness and courage to ask any girl to dance, and to be the spotlight on the dance floor! This sense of accomplishment and self-security is something that you will take with you from the salsa club into your daily life; you will be able to watch as the wonders that come from dancing salsa spread through your life, turning everything they touch to gold!
四、增加你的自我意识和自信心。
如果你害羞,这是与人交往最安全的地方之一。SALSA的世界是开放和友好的。你走进SALSA的那一刻起,你将有宾至如归的感觉 - 就这么简单。在你学跳SALSA的过程中,你会发现自己处在一个很有趣,很开放和很有活力的状态中。而且我们还有相当热情的拉丁音乐哦!看着自己在学习的 过程中瘦下来,不断完善舞技,在舞池中吸引更多人的目光,会给你带来莫大的信心!作为一个女生,能让男生不断地邀请你跳舞是一件很有满足感的事;而作为男 生,能去请你平时不敢跟她们说话的漂亮性感女生跳舞,也是非常有成就感的,也许这将改变你的世界。慢慢地,你将有勇气邀请任何女孩在舞池的聚光灯下跳舞! 你从SALSA舞中取得的这种成就感和自我意识,还会伴随你到日常生活中的其它方面:到时你就可以看到SALSA为你的生活带来奇迹,看到它是如何点沙成 金的!
So here they are before you: the greatest reasons why people pick up salsa dancing, as their life-changing hobbies. These are their reasons for doing it; what is your excuse not to?
All you have to do is sign up for any local salsa class (they are everywhere!), and you will thank me later when I’m in the crowd watching you tear it up on the dance floor. Have a happy journey through the world of salsa dancing!
原因我已经给你一一列出,现在你能明白这么多人把SALSA当做能改变他们的生活爱好的原因了吗?那你有什么理由不加入其中呢?
你所要做的就是马上去你当地的SALSA培训班报名(到处都有哦),而当某天我能看到你在拥挤的舞池中看到你自信地舞动时,你会感谢我的。
