It has been said that dancing is a way to prevent alzheimer's disease and other dementia.  I've seen many articles relating healthy minds with dancing.  If for no other reason for going to a Ballroom Dance, the music and people make it worth going. I know people tht don't dance, but attend such dances.  It does take a lot of mental activity to be able to dance the contact dances such as ballroom.  Ballroom includes Latin, Rhythm, Swing, International Standard, Country, etc.

When my acquaintances ask me where they can meet women, I tell them to learn to dance.  Most guys just don't get it!  Women love to dance!

The Ballroom of Sacramento was founded in 1996 when Ballroom dancing was reaching its peak. Attendance has reduced over the years for whatever reasons each activity seems to cycle.  It has already hit the lowest level and has been gradually climbing again.  There is a core group of regular dancers that have to have their dance fix once a week and there are those that can't make it that often, but do attend with enough regularity that we know them by name when they come if.
