for me as a young one who was born on almost end of the eighties, i have seen many people enjoy to the and it varies on the age on what kind or type of music they would enjoy and start to stomp those feet without exerting effort. like when the age bracket is about 50 upwards, they enjoy those kind of dances like ballrooms and folk dances. if it is in the age of 30-50 some of them groove in a pop music, just like my mother who happened to be 47 years old but still dance in the music of beyonce knowles. and for this year most people do love the in the house dances, hip-hop, beak dance, remix and etc.

You can only enjoy ballroom dance from age 50 upwards? Really? I think you need to get out more!
Ballroom dancing is not big in my area, but I started classes back in 1999; had to stop after getting married in April 2005. In that time I've gone through four dance teachers. I've performed two Showcase Presentations before a judging panel (received written critiques, trophies, etc), video camera, professional photographer & live audience of peers. I've never had a steady dance partner. I've completed a final exam for the FATD award to Bronze standard in front of interstate judges, videographers, photographers & live audience of peers. During those years, I danced two private lessons per week, attended three group sessions a week & attended regular socials & Balls arranged by my school. I've been continuously assessed on over twenty different dance styles in the categories of Modern, Latin & New Vogue. I first took up dance lessons as a result of my work with the Church. For two years running, I transformed our very poor turnout Annual Ball into a highly successful event, which twice filled the Rec Center with over 635 youth from as far away as Victoria (exceeding capacity - up from 180 the previous year).
The style we are taught here is very Americanized & quite different to that practiced by the English for the same dances. I wouldn't have known this had I not ventured over to the Northern Districts Ballroom Club which is one of the oldest here & very, very English! I probably attended there each time a dance event was held, maybe once a fortnight for over a year & made some good friends, though most of them have since departed this life.
Why waste your energy? It would be far better to put it to good use & achieve something for yourself.
