The Art of Moving Butts

by on Jan.17, 2010, under Jazz

You’re having problems getting that party started quickly, right?

The disco ball’s spinning and booze is flowing, but the guests are neither shaking their thangs nor getting their grooves on ‘ this, even though they’ve been informed the roof is on fire. What to do?

How about hiring a party motivator? Such a thing exists. Seriously. These men and woman go into office parties, wedding reception or bar/bat mitzvahs and, like catalysts in a funky science project, add the ingredients that turn a party into a par-tay.

Eddie Bruce a popular Philadelphia area band leader, has used motivators to bolster the energy of private parties for more than 20 years. Once the music starts, motivators go out on the dance floor and boldly lead the meek in the latest moves by making it look fun and easy. Bruce should know what it takes to motivate a party. He hosted Dancin on Air back at the dawn of the Reagan Era and his cabaret act closed at the Prince Music Theater. Motivators, need dancing talent and a knowledge of current popular music while possessing a convincing air of friendliness. Bruce uses them whenever he organizes an event featuring DJs or bands, having between two to eight motivators per party. Parties typically start at $2,500 but can reach the sky depending on what a client desires. Motivators pull in $100 to $200 a party.

Sounds like a pretty good gig, no? Well, that’s what aspiring motivators who recently headed to Club Flow for tryouts thought. Forty arrived; half would leave with a new gig. It is very important to hire the very best motivators for the wedding party or any other gig in order to get your guests off their butts and onto the dance floor.

“It’s something I’ve wanted to do for a long time”, explained New York native Rabiah Murtaza, who’s trained jazz, hip-hop and flamenco. In order to get hired, they had to show their stuff to judge Matt Ostroff, who made it known that some candidate had something special. No. 3 came out string, brandishing a strobe light smile and aggressive moves that scored big points with Ostroff, who noted that “he doesn’t need any training,” But No.17, an attractive 20-something brunette, lost points by busting out with the Macarena.

It’s a tough job, you’ve got to be fearless,” Bruce confides. “You need a big ego”

Which makes perfect sense. Anybody doing the Macarena most likely does not have a big ego.

3 Dance Aerobics to Shape You Up

by on Jan.10, 2010, under Jazz

Women may be the ones who are most interested in danceable workout routines. That doesn’t hold true nowadays because men have joined the bandwagon of burning calories and staying shapely by doing dance aerobics. Dancing has always been an effective sweat-it-all-out routine that makes it an effective fat burner.

Dance aerobics aren’t exclusive for women or dance enthusiasts. You don’t have to be a dancer to be effective at burning calories through dance routines. It’s just a matter of moving your body parts here and there to trigger perspiration and activate your muscles for development. Graceful or not, you can still end up shedding fats off your tummy, arms, buttocks, legs and hips after dancing to the beat of whatever is in. At times, most aerobics instructors fuse modern and other music genres to make workout a little bit more dramatic and interesting. Although there are many choices of danceable routines to choose from, these 3 dance aerobics to shape you up can become your preferences:

1.Hip Hop Jazz. This is a fusion of jazz and hip hop that allows you to move with grace. Most of the steps work on the lower body and legs that allow you to be alert in shifting from one step to the other. It may be hard at first but once the instructor has shown you a slow-motion version of each of the steps, you can be effective at it. It doesn’t matter how execute it. As long as you attempt to follow the motions, you basically belong.

2.Latin Aero. The Latin beat is known to be one of the sexiest and most dramatic dances of all time. You are allowing yourself to exaggerate steps that increase your flexibility and alertness in moving your hips, stomping your feet and waiving your hands. Salsa, Swing and Jive are among the popular Latin dances that are sometimes combined to come up with the Latin Aero. Women love it as if they’re celebrating their femininity and greatness to the beat called Latin.

3.Belly Dancing. The name itself gets us to think that this particularly targets to shed off fat off the belly. This works more on shaking your bonbon and swaying your hips as you manage to gracefully do feet stances. This has become popular among women who want their abs flatter and leaner.

Belly dancing is among the traditional dances in Egypt and India where women dance it as a welcoming gesture. This is very effective if you want to train your abdominal muscles after shedding fats off.
Dance your way to the beat of aerobic dancing. Be part of the bandwagon in the fitness scene and don’t be left behind with how to shape up gracefully.

Finding the perfect Tony Horton’s 10 Minute Trainer takes time and effort. The P90X Plus workout is a great place to start if a person is interested in flat abs. The P90X is also another workout that will help develop flat abs.

The Health Benefits of Dance

by on Jan.09, 2010, under Jazz

Have you ever spent the night dancing? Checked into the club around 10 AM, and staggered out some six hours later, hair spiked with sweat, body flushed, legs completely worn out, ears ringing? Or have you ever been out swing dancing, jump jive and wailing as you spin your partner and twirl them around, snapping your fingers as you work up a healthy sheen of sweat? Tango, ball room, hip hop-there’s no end of options and styles, but all of them involve your body, with moving, grooving and enjoying yourself. Ever wondered exactly what benefits are being accrued by your body, what the health benefits of dance are? Wonder no longer-just read on.

First off there’s flexibility. If you’re doing any kind of formal dancing, from ballet to modern jazz, you’ll start off with a stretching session, and then after you’re warmed up let it all go. Even if you’re just enjoying in with your friends by the bar, dancing involves a wide array of movements, asking for a full range of motions. The more you dance, the more your muscles flex and extend. Most forms of dancing involve bending and stretching, with the final result that you’ll naturally end up being more flexible as a result.

Most people associate strength training with the gym, with lifting weights, but many people forget that your own body can act as its own weight for your muscles. Strength, after all, is defined as your muscles ability exert a force against resistance, and gravity provides all the resistance you need. Many styles of dance involve jumping and leaping high into the air, an exercise which requires tremendous strength. If you think about all the exercise your thighs, calves and core must do to control your body as you dip, turn and sway, it’s a full on workout.

Endurance. Unless you’re dancing for ten minutes, any length period of dancing is a full body workout that will do much more for you than thirty minutes on a treadmill. All night dance sessions will leave you drenched with sweat, and when’s the last time a gym workout left you so soaked? Even if you’re taking breaks to get a refreshment at the bar, you’re still moving and dancing for hours, and that kind of exercise is excellent for your aerobic engine. If you’re dancing professionally, or doing a formal style of dance, than there’s no doubt that all that rehearsing will give you a killer workout.

Finally, dancing can bestow an incredible sense of well being. It’s primal, it’s an ancient form of social interaction, it’s fun and moving in time to rhythmic music is as basic a form of enjoyment as there is. Dancing with friends, being out in the world, meeting new people, performing, joining dance groups, any of these forms of social interactions are incredibly healthy for your self esteem and your sense of well being

If you’re interested in combining dance with exercise in a more direct method, seeking to blend the fun with more direct health benefits, why not try Hip Hop Abs? Or try your hand at a kickboxing workout with Turbo Jam!
