I studied ballroom years ago so I could learn the Hustle. Danced 6 nights a week with a regular partner, and a rather large group of fellow dancers like a traveling circus, a different club every night. I had more energy then, and was in great shape from all that exercise. What a perfect release for stress!!
Swing dance is also very energetic, and fun. I guess I like to dance with a partner best. Salsa is way cool, but the music is so LOUD in those Latin clubs.

Don't laugh, but a friend actually dragged me to a bellydancing class and I had a lot of fun. It was kind of nice to see people who looked like me (curvy) having a good time, completely unselfconsciously.

LOL! I've taken belly dance lessons since 19 years old.
It was a great stress reduction activity ,let alone great fitness.
Are you still taking lessons? If not, why not???????????

I'm not because my friend left and the studio closed. I'm a little shy to go alone, but they did give me a CD that I still listen to especially in my car. The drums are just great. It was strange for me to be in a place where a small waist and bigger hips were considered a good thing But, maybe that explains why I always got hit on by Middle Eastern men....

My next activity is going to be yoga I think.

I love salsa!
I've also tried jive, swing, ceroc and a little ballroom dancing. I just love being able to move in time to music, getting fit without noticing it!
