Have you ever heard of the endorphins that release when we hug? It takes about 15 seconds for their amazing pleasure effect to activate in our bodies.
Endorphins literally release an immediate power boost of happiness, and all it takes is some physical touch to get some. Who doesn’t want more of that!?
If a 15-second hug can have such amazing effects on our mood, what can dancing in each other’s arms do for a couple, if not for a 3-minute song, the entire night?
We’ve all heard it before, dancing can light up a spark and create chemistry in a relationship.
But… is that true for just some of us? Or can everyone enjoy this amazing feeling?
To be honest, there is something magical about being close and moving together with another body to music, in each other’s arms, whether or not we have rhythm.
For this reason, dancing is one of the best bonding experiences for couples. Let me tell you why.
Dancing in itself is a conversation without words. We know that words get in the way, and some of us are just not great at laying it all out there.
However, what dance does, is allow each person to communicate through touch and feel. This is so powerful and healing.
You might be able to feel something from the other person, that you might have not felt before. You might feel loved in a new way. Everything you never said, you might be able to show through the touch and close embrace of dance.
Dance invites you to listen and respond. There is a certain honesty and humility you bring to the table. It takes two of you to make the unit of one partnership.
The couples that move together as a unit, have an understanding for each other, contributing two separate yet essential functions to that partnership. A successful dance partnership is not unlike a successful relationship.
It is truly unfortunate that a lot of non-dancers out there have to sit on the sidelines and miss out on the bonding powers of dance. It’s usually because they’ve had a bad experience, or someone once told them they can’t do it, or they just didn’t have the right teacher. …Or maybe they haven’t mustered up the courage and been captive by their limiting beliefs.
But what if it made your special someone REALLY happy? What if it ended up making BOTH OF YOU really happy? Is it worth holding out on this explosive new hobby that could reignite the very thing you might have lost and been looking for?
Do you want to cultivate a deeper relationship with your partner and bond on a deeper level?
Take a risk and develop a hobby to share with your lover. A hobby that involves touching and moving together. A hobby that will make you laugh out loud and have a blast.
Yup, you got it – Learn to Dance!
Like I tell many of my couples that come in to dance, “As on the dance floor, as in life”.
That means if you energize your date nights and up-level them to totally explosive bonding on another-level date nights, your life will start mirroring those good times and will have a positive influence on making your relationship a healthy and happy one.

Truth be told, some of us are daunted by dancing. Not only is the fear of dancing scary, but the fear of not being able to “Get it” due to our “Two Left Feet Syndrome” is even more embarrassing to some of us.
Let me tell you– I totally get it. And for this specific reason, I have spent years focusing on training total beginners with no rhythm whatsoever to learn to dance. Why? Because it’s just not worth it to let couples miss out on all the positive things dance can do for their relationship.
What dancing does for couples is amazing. It is a proven way to rekindle romance and spice up any relationship. The proof is simply in the never-ending supply of endorphins you get from it.
There is no reason why any couple should be missing out on one of the most stimulating activities out there; dancing is one of the easiest ways to reconnect with your special someone and change the state of your relationship. After all, who can possibly resist smiling when you are dancing?
The dream is to keep the deep connection alive. It is the stuff we can’t buy off the shelf that is what we usually want most.
Dancing breaks the monotony of routine and brings about an opportunity to connect, be vulnerable, and to even face your fears, all while growing more intimate with your partner. As a result, you will start bonding on another level.
The point isn’t to be perfect. You might not know what you are doing, but one thing is for sure: you will do a lot of laughing! Whatever you do, as long as you “own it” and do it anyway, it will come across as bold and sexy to your partner, which will give you mega points.
Another note to take into consideration is that courage is amazingly attractive. What better way to show your courage, your boldness, and your love than by being physical and vulnerable enough to learn to dance?
