Beautiful Girl in the Ballroom

We have not yet had the opportunity to interview this dance blog, if you are associated with the blog please have someone from the blog email us at Brittany@BDancewear.com to set up an interview (only takes a few minutes and it’s free).

In the meantime here is some quick insights about this dance blog from their website.

 

Beautiful Girl in the BallroomThis is another blog that consists mostly of following someone’s journey as she progresses through the world of dance. However, this time it is Ballroom Dancing. The subject of the blog, Stephanie, is an overweight dancer who receives the byproduct of dancing – losing weight. Stephanie started dancing in the typical fashion when at the age of five her mother enrolled her at the local studio. There were the typical recitals with the typical family pictures. Sometime later, she “discovered” was that her body was bigger than the other girls. She didn’t learn much about technique, but “danced my way through junior high and high school.” Realizing that she did not have the traditional dancer’s body and that she was not good enough to be a professional, she gave up dancing – temporarily. Twelve years after her last dance lesson, she saw ballroom lessons given at her gym and thought “Why not?” She needed to lose weight and thought it had to be better than the dreaded gym workout. A few lessons later, she was hooked.  She worked her way up to dancing in heels, dancing 4 lessons a week, and even doing a competition – all at over 250 pounds. She was really enjoying herself – until her teacher disappeared.  After a break, she recently returned to dancing and loves it. She has lost 40 pounds and has had fun doing it! This blog is entertaining and inspiring at the same time.
