For every professional dancer, there are hundreds of thousands of fans and amateurs expressing themselves through dance.

Surefooted dance studios and schools should be early adopters. They have compelling business reasons to bring their brands online with a .DANCE web address.

DANCE YOUR WAY TO A HEALTHIER LIFESTYLE
Dance is one of the most varied, beautiful and universal art forms in the world, but did you know it’s also one of the best forms of exercise around? This is one of the major ways professional dancers, studios and dance classes can appeal beyond the art form to the public at large. It’s also one of the ways we can target our TLD to professionals, studios, classes – and indeed the enthusiastic amateur.
Ask any professional danseur or danseuse just how much of a work-out dance is and they’ll be only too happy to tell you. Recent research suggests that an hour of full-on getting down and boogying can burn between 500 and 700 calories. Which means a ballet dancer on stage for three plus hours exerts as much energy as if they’d run most of a full marathon, or played two full professional soccer matches back to back.
Indeed, dance as fitness is finding its feet in the world at large – with the like of Zumba. A .DANCE domain creates massive opportunities for dancers to reach out to the health conscious looking for more expressive was to keep fit.
So, where does that leave your part-time, Saturday Night Fever, little fish, big fish, cardboard box brigade? Busting moves for a couple of hours with your friends in the local nightclub is about the same as a decent five mile walk. That’s gotta be good for your fitness and your ‘fit’ levels. Let’s face it, your best chance of pulling anything in the gym is probably your hamstring. Whereas, busting your best on the dance floor not only ditches the calories, but also forms an acceptable part of a mating ritual as old as time. Not to mention generating plenty of fodder for sharing on social media sites.
