Everyone agrees that when you are enjoying yourself in what you are doing, you are truly living.  I believe that dancing is a way to achieve that enjoyment and at the same time, glean the rewards of good health.  This book is about dancing, and the passion that people develop for dancing over a period of time.

Dancing brings you tremendous joy, at the same time giving you many life prolongation benefits that enable you to live well into your old age in a healthy condition.  It becomes a source of enjoyment, pleasure, exercise, fulfillment, mental growth, stimulation, social interaction and all-out fun that you can look forward to doing on a regular basis.  When floating across the dance floor with a partner, you are connecting with another human being, in rhythm to the music, moving synchronously as if floating on air.  So much for stress!

Dancing, as I will explain in the following chapters, is one of the best physical activities we can do to prolong our lives, prolong our enjoyment of life, and enhance our passion for living.  Dance to Live is my gift to you.  I hope you enjoy this book.  Please pass it on to others so they may benefit from it and experience the wonderful feeling of dancing, too.
