8 Reasons Why I Hope You Dance
Giphy

There's always a few guests at weddings, parties, bars, clubs, and even in their own home who refuse to feel the rhythm. As a dancer of over 17 years, I'm here to provide you with a list of 8 reasons why you should always make your way to the dance floor. So next time, "When you get the choice to sit it out or dance.. I HOPE YOU DANCE!"

1. You will look more out of place sitting it out.

More than likely the majority of guests are going to bust a move. If you're nervous about looking dumb remember you may stick out more sitting alone at a table nervously watching or checking your phone.


2. It burns calories!

One hour of aerobic dancing can burn up over 400 calories! Exercise that is fun?! You really can't lose! (It worked for Britney)


3. It will boost your confidence.

Everyone has their own moves and swagger, if you just let loose you'll feel way more confident in your own skin.


4. We all deserve to be Beyonce or Bon Jovi for one or two songs.

I slay, I slay, all day. We gon' slay. ALL DAY.

5. It takes major courage.

It takes a lot of guts to make that first move but it will feel freaking fantastic. Free yourself!

6. It bonds people.

Dancing together will create relationships that will last forever... or at least until in the end of the night! It also is a great way to break the ice.


7. It will destress you.

Similar to running, dancing has been known to clear the mind and help destress us of all our heavy toxins.


8. BONUS: It may aid in avoiding annoying people.

If you get sweaty it's an excellent excuse to get out of that hug with relative or friend you barely know!


So, maybe you'll surprise yourself and find out you're the next Jenny from the Block! But even if you're not don't be afraid show off your passion and dance like Taylor swift at every awards show since the beginning of time. If she can do it so can you.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
