So has anyone ever tried dancing and such to lose weight? I used to teach a jidderbug class and it kept me in great shape, i've been thinking about expanding into salsa and Latin and was thinking about ordering some of those learn at home video's anyone ever try any of this?

Yes, I lost weight super fast just by dancing, after having my 4th baby. If you enjoy dancing then yes absolutely! I HATE to do cardio..boring, but when I dance I forget about how hard I'm working. If you aren't really into it then you wont lose weight as fast, because it will be just another work out to you. But if you really love to shake your groove thang then I say go for it. There are a lot of fun dvds out there or you could enroll in an adult dance class.

Lol cool, yes i love dancing. used to go everynight and close the bars down. ahh those were the days, never got off the floor.
I think it be fun to learn some other styles then what i already know.

=) love dancing but haven't been able to find anything I like: would love to pick up samba!! or some african dance.
Not so keen on couple dancing since you need a partner! I did go to a salsa evening once, but then got asked to dance by some old perv and he kept asking me, was v annoying.. sigh ( he was 65+ , I am 21.. k? that's just no no no!)

Hmm samba, now that sounds fun too. I'd like to learn something that will help losing up my hips. I think it would help ad some extra pop to the jidderbug, ya know? Make it more of a swing style.
sorry bout the old man I used to get older ladies asking all the time. and I would oblige them for a dance. They were always so nice it was hard to turn them down. Though old ladies aren't near as creepy as old men.

Dancing is great - I used to dance and did my medals in Street Latin. I did it for 3 years, then semi-retired (long story). I used to do Salsa, Merengue, Argentine Tango, then also some Latin American and Ballroom. I still love it - just have no studio near by.
