Over at the Upper Montclair studio's blog, owner Carrie Babcock has a terrific post on why it's important to compete in ballroom dancing.
"We seriously doubt that you decided to pursue ballroom dancing because you needed another activity to fill your dull and boring life," writes Carrie. "Most of us barely have time to watch the Dancing with the Stars episode that we TIVO’d. Competitive dancing is a bonus—an extracurricular activity that will help us enjoy our dancing. It gives us the opportunity to try hard, to practice, to study, and become the kind of dancer we dreamed of being when we started out. If we happen to pick up a blue ribbon in the process, it’s an exciting added bonus."
Carrie finishes her post with a long and impressive list of positives coming from competitive dancing. Check out her story here.

Actually, this is the reason most people pursue ballroom dancing, whether they are 26 or 56, including myself and most of my dance-mates. All we want is another social activity, a way to relax and exercise and chit-chat with your 'next' dance partner.
