I think this is a great idea for losing weight and getting into better shape!! My nephew lost about 180 pounds by dancing it away over a year. He started slow and by 6 months he was dancing an hour a day and by 8 months he was dancing an hour twice a day. He looks awesome now and has kept the weight off over 4 years so far.
I am having arthroscopic surgery on my knee Jan. 4th, but as soon as I am recovered, I am going to start dancing, too. I am 65, and know better than to compete with my 8 yr old DGD, but I am hoping to get DH to join me.
