Have you ever watched a movie called "shall we dance?" It is by Jennifer Lopez and Richard Gere.  It is a re-make of a Japanese movie of the same title.If you have not seen it,I would like to strongly suggest that you do see it. Buy the DVD, or rent one.DO IT. It is so much fun.  Why?  It is about dancing.  I love dancing.  I love it not only becuase it is beautiful and amazing what the human body can do.  It  also has music.  I now know why I do not like golf.  not that I do not like the outdoor and the great scenery, but it is because you have to play in the sun and also it has no music.  Dancing and music go hand in hand. I can't love one without the other.

I was in Manila and was invited by my friend Mayenne Carmona (the famous writer in Manila) to a Philippine Star Ball.  THis is a worldwide competition of ballroom dance much like our wu lin da hui.  Oh what an exciting evening.  I was up till 3am and when I went to bed, these beautiful dancers remained vivid in my mind.  I was twirling and turning and totally engrossed in such beauty. 

This kind of dancing competition is just as vigorous as the Olympics.  They are also the best in the world.  the participants have to spend years of very disciplined work to get to where they are.  and the bodies.  They are totally perfect.  no an ounce of fat.  I was the most entralled person in front of such perfection.
Dancing is good exercise.  I love to use dancing as part of my exercise routine.  It is with beautiful music!!!!!!!
