First, let me say that I found myself coming off the couch and dancing in my living room with all the enthusiasm a professional might have performing. DWTS hooked me week after week and I enjoy watching all that they achieved. This particular article is as inspirational in content and might lead more to get out and dance themselves; well-written. But I suggest a bit of exercise to prepare the body–possibly a seniors’ exercise class for someone over 50 who hasn’t been keeping active. For those young hopefuls, the challenge is the same. Thank you for such a good article.

Thank you for the great article!
Dancing make me healthier! It keeps my mobility in good condition after 2 surgeries. It became a big part of my life ever since that monthly dance at USA Dance, Orlando, Fl in 2006. It’s fun and addictive. It’s hard to quit once you start dancing! Try it!

It is a proven fact that ballroom dancing is healthy for you. I am a member of USA Dance and enjoy ‘promoting’ the love of ballroom dancing every day. We participate with the community to share our love of ballroom dancing by bringing classes to the young and old in our Ft. Myers, Florida areas.

To see the article only proves that “yes we are doing a good job”. Course the new dance shows on tv do help!!!

Thank you Saturday Evening Post for your marvelous article!!!

I started dancing in 2007 after losing my father and going through a bad marriage. I had an epiphany to go sign up for lessons. To this day I love dancing at the age of 61.. it keeps me in good shape, mentally and physically. I have a “dance family.”

I thoroughly enjoyed working with Saturday Evening Post on this article. What a fabulous cover – what we would expect from this American icon. I’d like to say that this article is one of the best written, factually and stylistically, about ballroom dancing and what’s happening in our country. On behalf of our organization’s 174 social dance chapters around the country and all of our dancesport competitors, from pre-teen to seniors, we thank you for this wonderful portrayal of America’s growing love for dance and its impact on our lives!.

I have tap danced since 5th grade but after 40 years of not tapping, I joined a Sr. group. We learned dances and danced for nursing homes, etc .. There were a group of 10 of us but as the years went on, many had knee replacements, broken hips, and finally I had to have 2 hips replaced last year. It is a wonderful way to exercise and keep in shape and I am 78yrs old and want to get back to it as soon as possible. The Dr. said I should be able to tap again if I dont cross my legs too far!!
You have a wonderful magazine and I’m glad I found it. Surprised it was still in existence and in Indianapolis, Indiana. I’m from South Bend, Indiana.

Great Article ! I am a member of USA Dance, Memphis Tn. and am on the Board of Dir….Been dancing now for 10 years…started when I was 66 and am now 76. Just performed a Standard, Fox Trot showcase with my instructor, had the dress for 4 years, fortunately I was not burried in it. Dancing, Volunteering to promote Ballroom Dancing is a blessing. Some of us were dancing before it became America’s Pastime Again. Hooray for USA Dance, A TRUE NON PROFIT ORGANIZATION !

Wonderful article. Please note that the photo for Xingmin and Katerina Lu does not match the caption; it looks like the photo and caption for Donna Thomas got mixed up with the ones for Xingmin and Katerina.
