Strictly Ballroom or Dirty Dancing?

18 February 2009

Dancing is romantic. It's sensual, it has a vigour and a life all of its own. Whether you're interested in sophisticated tango, glamorous salsa and ballroom or some down to earth street styles, it can take your breath away to watch it and to do it.

Most girls love dancing, it's the rhythm, the music, the magic. If you're looking to get a gift for someone who loves to shake her thing, gifts for her should give her the opportunity to learn more about dancing and teach her some new techniques. There are far more gift options out there than a generic and boring old dancing video though...

In fact, experience days can be a great way to let a girl loosen up and learn some new moves. Strictly Dancing for Two Gift Packs can be affordable enough to let you get a few additional gifts for her as well, to remind her of the special day you shared together on the dance floor.

Prehistoric Passion

Did you know that although dance itself hasn't left us many artifacts throughout the ages, there are ancient paintings of people dancing all around the world? These images are usually painted on the inside of caves and rock shelters and are most common in India and Egypt. There are also dancing statuettes of glamorous ladies swathed in delicate veils which date from 150 -100 BC held in the Louvre Museum.

Later, in ancient Greece, the Philosopher Aristotle was also a big fan of dance and he likened it to poetry. He said that many dancers, 'with rhythm applied to gesture, could express manners, passions, and actions.'

If you decide to get your loved one, gifts for her such as dance experience days, you can also learn a few moves yourself and make it an even more romantic present. Those new moves could come in useful at weddings and formal work parties, as well as be an intimate and exciting way to spend her birthday with her.

Classes are available to suit all kinds of people and experience levels; they can be great before or after a romantic meal and your lovely lady could choose the dance style. There are so many types of dance taught on experience days, there's Tango, one of the world's most passionate dance styles, Salsa which is sexy and exciting and Le Roc which is a jazzy modern dance style. Then there's good old Ballroom which would whisk her in to an imaginary world where princesses dance with princes in pristine ball gowns.

Dancing has always been special. It's believed that in the most early and basic human civilizations we would dance for fun, for special ceremonies and even for romance. Sri Lankan aboriginals even believed that dance could be used to break their mythical magic spells. These days, I'd say a dance is more likely to cast one.

Historians also believe dance was used before written language had been invented. Ancient people used dance as a way to pass information down through generations and preserve it. So the power of dance is far greater and more ancient than most people might think.

Great Dance Gifts For Her

If your girlfriend is a Dirty Dancing or Strictly Come Dancing fan, you could team an experience day where she'd get to really dance with much more than a candle-lit meal. There's a great Dirty Dancing stage show in London's West End and discount tickets are available from Leicester Square ticket booths.

Affordable audience tickets are also available on various websites for Strictly Come Dancing and several spin off shows, so once she's had her experience day and enjoyed dancing herself she could watch some professionals take to the floor.

You could also get gifts for her which will help her to remember her dancing experience such as a shining star engraved with her name and a special message. It would be perfect for her to display at home and keep forever to remind her of fond Salsa memories. One other wonderful thing about dancing is that it's a great way to celebrate, so it's perfect for any occasion.

Christmas is a time when there are many parties to attend, so in preparation, a dance experience day can make a great gift. Then again, birthdays can be romantic and dancing with someone you love can be incredibly special. Valentine's Day is clearly a good day for dance lessons as well!

You never know, you might find that a Strictly Dancing for Two experience day will awaken the dancer in you and be the birth of a new hobby which is healthy, age old and great fun. Did we mention it's sexy too?
