I decided to shake off the old days and go to dances as they were in our time, but first, a preamble.
I live not alone, but in a very close group. I have 5 children and 5 grandchildren. 3 granddaughters, 2 sons and 2 daughters-in-law live with me, and therefore, no one canceled me. If you remember your knowledge of arithmetic, you can calculate that we there are 8 showers in this terrarium. My apartment is 30 square meters, 3 rooms, it would be quite suitable for one family, but not as big as ours. One thing pleases us, our house is Khrushchev, and someday, our government will take pity on us and our house will be resettled , but when? in Moscow they have been doing this for 10 years already, but in our city with a regional destiny, things just won’t get off the ground. After sitting and thinking at my leisure, I decided to get married. So what? I’m still a girl anywhere, and the city is not small, you’ll find something. And where can we meet someone, the Internet is cancelled, for 3 years, being on all sorts of sites, I’ve never met anyone. No, all sorts Of course there were proposals, such as meetings in daytime on someone’s territory, but this lifestyle doesn’t suit me, firstly, I don’t like young people, and secondly, my goal is different. I signed up for a couple of dating clubs, and my requirements are the most minimal, over 70 years of age, so that didn’t pester you with affection, he has his own place to live, even if it’s in a communal apartment, and then everything is tolerable. And his face, what kind of face should he have? Anyone who has been to the south has seen plywood compositions with cut-out holes for the head. So, any head from this slot would have suited me, had it had at least some kind of housing. One thing was unacceptable for me: alcohol lovers are not suitable for me at any price. I quickly found pensioners there that matched my needs, all widowers, as if by choice, they all had problems with their children, so they lived alone. but when it came to a serious acquaintance, not one of them could make a serious decision, everyone was delaying something and were afraid. and that’s when I remembered dancing. in our youth, we danced at parties for those over 30, the audience there was different, although I was not 30, but 24, but the contingent there was up to 60. Now the situation is different. We have discos for those over 40, over 50, etc. I found a cultural and leisure center on the Internet and went there. I’m 54 years old, I meet the age requirement, the suitors are alive and already there. That time I came and saw such a picture, grooms over 60, ladies too. I must say that some of our ladies either suffer from a lack of taste or do not have a mirror at all. If I, a girl of not fragile build, despite my inch-inch height, am still a bit heavy, then I try to dress in such a way as not to shock the audience. Why are people to blame for looking at all my curves and then swallowing validol? dancing ladies, all with their backs, arms and short skirts almost open to the waist. girl under 70, parchment skin hanging from her arms and back, heavily covered pigment spots, and she dances with a happy look under the disapproving glances of other, better dressed ladies. So, all these ladies were in great demand, but I sat for 3 hours and no one invited me. What’s the secret? but I had a good laugh watching people. One couple was like this, a gentleman of short stature, about 150 cm, all in medals and badges, and a lady taller than him, who danced on her own, hastily moving her feet, and he trailed behind her like tied. the second, noticeably tipsy (there is a buffet there), invited everyone, and when the lady agreed, he tried to lean against the column, and the lady was already dancing on her own. at the end, he got so drunk that he was already inviting gentlemen to dance, not recognizing who was in front of him. By the way, an interesting observation, ladies willingly dance with each other, but I have not yet seen gentlemen doing this activity. There are also a couple or three couples there who took up dancing in their youth, and here they show “high art” when they dance with everyone making way, for they rush like a hurricane, sweeping away everyone in their path. True, they don’t always get on the beat, but that’s the tenth thing. Having sat there until the end, unsatisfied, I trudged home with sad thoughts. However, the next Thursday I went there again. During this time, I shared my impressions with my friends, and they suggested smart thoughts to me, one said that I needed to expand the search and start with men over 50, the second said that they were all either blind or drunk and did not notice such a colorful person like me, and they almost calmed me down, so I continued my search. And then a miracle happened, after the second dance, an impressive man came up to me and invited me to dance. But I must say that in my old age I became very polite, and after the dance ended I said thanks to him. people, what does a simple human thank you do to people? this word brings tears to their eyes. The famous Russian writer was right when he said the famous “Nothing costs us so little and is not valued so dearly by us as politeness.” The gentleman invited me again , and so we danced the whole evening. Of course, we talked, and such a smart girl like me didn’t need to strain to understand that my gentleman was much stupider than me, and that he had very little experience communicating with women, but... I remembered that my marriage should be of convenience and demanding too much from a man means that I will have to give too much. He walked me to the metro and asked for a phone number, tomorrow we will meet outside the dance party, but that’s a completely different story. Who’s waiting? there will be a continuation.

Meanwhile, liking yourself unconditionally is the most important quality for a woman at any age. As I said Hollywood star and three-time Olympic champion figure skating Sonya Henie: “People won’t give you a penny more than you value yourself.” And, strange as it may seem, we often forget to appreciate and love ourselves, and for many it is even difficult to do this, because our forms have lost their former ideality and self-confidence has been replaced by complexes. Maybe this habit of forgetting about oneself is what forms a special breed of women called “aunts”?

The problem needs a solution. And dancing for those over 30 will help you find it. In fact, not only “over 30,” but also “over 40” and “over 50.” No, no, we don’t mean those “over 30” discos that involve slurring along to the music in the hope of having fun and meeting a couple.
We are talking about those dances for those over 30, which for a woman become a way to regain self-confidence, re-evaluate her beauty and femininity, tighten her figure, return a smile to her face, and complete and unconditional love for herself and for life in her heart.

Flamenco, Argentine tango, solo latina, belly dance - the choice is yours.
The main thing is not to be embarrassed by anyone, and don’t be afraid to be awkward at first. Dancing is cool and you will soon see it for yourself once you take a couple of lessons.

Before we “go over” the dances of those over 30, let us remind you that each age gives its own perception of the world. You may not want to twist your butt in fiery salsa, which, however, is not a fact. You should try, “get the hang of” a couple of dances. Maybe you will really like salsa, and at the same time it will allow you to lose 10 years internally, and then externally. Appearance - you know, she is very predictable in her habits: she follows her inner state, like a released spring.

And yet, those who do not want to break out of the classics of age, and perhaps simply do not have the physical capabilities and desire to strain themselves with intense movements, definitely need to dance! And you should choose from the following dances.

Eastern
For those over 30, all oriental dances are perfect. Classic belly dancing and its variations, tribal or Indian dance. We have already talked in detail about ( belly dance) and is one of the most interesting dance styles.

Belly dancing You can do this for anyone who wants to restore flexibility to their body, tighten their muscles, have fun, relieve back pain, reveal their femininity from a new side, and also learn an exquisite way of seduction (what? Would that be superfluous?).

Tribal same - absolutely special kind dance, born in America, but its origins are based on a truly Eastern tradition. Tribal is suitable for those who want to gain self-confidence, internal independence, learn to move beautifully and control your body. All of the listed “bonuses” that belly dancing gives can also be attributed to tribal.

Speaking of seduction. Let's take a moment and think: why? oriental women(Turkish, Indian women) were first taught to take good care of themselves, dress beautifully, choose jewelry, paint their eyes, dance, seduce with movement and glance? All these wonderful traditions of the hammam (oriental bath), where the body was oiled so that a delicate aroma always emanated from it, and the skin looked like a peach. It would be primitive to think that all this was just to please the man. First of all, this approach formed a woman who loved her body and was confident in her beauty. Then, it was the art of always being interesting, through which a strong family. Why are we sometimes so dismissive of the fact that we need to fill our own life interesting things? After all, in the end, this will always entail the interest and respect of a man, and, as a result, a strong relationship.

So, we dance oriental dances, use their plasticity, languor, mystery in Everyday life. You can play and seduce your man. This is magnificent life experience, an unusual leisure activity that will benefit both of you.

If the East is not impressive or is far from your worldview, you can choose. This dance is for strong, emotional, and... on the contrary, modest and enslaved. First, flamenco will allow you to throw out your emotions, let off all your steam and explode all the gunpowder accumulated at home and at work, and voice all your claims to life in dance. With the help of flamenco you can “swear”, you can become arrogant, you can be rebellious. Very complex emotions that sometimes you don’t have to express in life - express them by dancing flamenco.
And in contrast to those who hold the storm within themselves, the modest and unsure of themselves, the quiet and enslaved, in flamenco they will first feel themselves a real lady, and then quickly learn not to be afraid of themselves or others. This dance makes you “get up from your knees” and take a deep breath. After several lessons, you will gain self-confidence and the desire to continue and continue dancing flamenco. This fire will not spare anyone. You cannot smolder in such a dance - you only have to burn! Bright and emotional.

Relevant as ever and accessible even to homeschooling according to video lessons. If you are choosing dancing for those over 30, but don't expect to find a partner for your hobby, solo Latina is the best thing you can come up with. Several directions: merengue, cha-cha-cha, samba, rumba, and - the solo program is amazingly varied. Graceful gait beautiful posture, zero stiffness and tightness, minus ten kilograms - this is the minimum that you will gain along with solo Latin classes.

For those over 30, starting to dance means starting to live again!
