You probably already know this but you can burn some serious calories shaking that RUMP. But different dances varies in intensity so some dances burn more than others. How many fat club goers do you see? Okay maybe quite a few. lol But a person that goes every night (wow, some life!) will burn more calories than most people at a gym.
There's this great site that will even help you find the dance for you and calculate how much you can lose!

It's funny that they put the disclaimer that it's NOT FOR USE BY PREGNANT WOMEN. Pregnant women do dance. but I guess they don't want any liabilities.
Talk the TALK
1) Do you dance to get fit? (if so have you ever calculated your calories lost?)
2) What's your favorite type of dance to get fit?

♡A. Leungツ: lol i'll be sure to bring a stack of $10s. lol
Trinity Lane: I think you're the only person that loves potatoes as much as me. The wife and i shared a baked potato the other night. =)
Prospect Mak: HA! It would be pretty expensive, would you be able to afford it? LOL
A A: 5 years ago? 10 years ago? 20 years ago?
Prospect Mak: Only on days I eat potatoes :P
It's been ages since I've been dancing!
May Tii Ly: i use to know a girl who's from Chicago was not exactly skinny but loved clubbing. But i think you're right, skinny is the majority.
crispy ☮: yeah that would be awesome. But Chicago is not exactly known for Dim Sim are they? You guys have a pretty small Chinatown...
Steph Yen: yeah it's often tough to find time when you're working full time.
Edlyn Jeon: awwww. What do you mean? You're still young!
Marissa Parks: Ooh i've never seen Chorus Line. How long does the show usually run?
lmaol. this is a true story. I believe it bc most ppl I know that go clubbing are skinny and always dance as soon as they walk in. lol. I wish I love dancing that much.
Prospect Mak: dim sum?!
i don't get to dance much anymore since I started a new job.
Prospect Mak: We're doing A Chorus Line.

@Todd: OH NO! i definitely don't dance lol
i'm an AWFUL dancer, but i wouldn't be surprised that dancing makes you fit. i mean, you're pretty much working every single muscle in your body :P hmm, now i kinda regret not taking dance lessons when i was younger LOL
MH Chow: ha ha hardly. maybe just yours.
Todd the dork: I've seen pics on her FB of them checking out bands. What a cute couple! =)
Todd the dork: Dude you're so modest.
Prospect Mak: So can you kick ass now?
Marissa Parks: You don't go dancing with your new bf?
Bklyn Queen: Nope, I don't even look THAT good!
crispy ☮: i love how you're not disproving it. lol. I hope I get a chance to visit Chicago next and meet you and May.
MH Chow: i haven't done any dancing as part of exercise class. or with fitness in mind. i've taken a kickboxing class that was fun.
Prospect Mak: HA HA SMAK HA HA
you didn't explain if you did any dancing for your exercise routine.
Eliza Grace: i've always wanted to learn. but i have two left feet unfortunately!
Shannon ツ: I've heard so much about Zumba but never got a chance to try it or see it in action. It sounds very interesting!
Peony Love: i learned a bit in college but haven't forgotten everything.
I love dancing in my hip hop class it's a great workout!
crispy ☮: Ha ha, so you're the lady my Chicago colleagues talk about. =)
I go to zumba 1-3 times a week. I love it, I get a great workout and leave sweating to death without even realizing I'm really working out.
I would love to learn ballroom dancing.
Prospect Mak: lol yes.... I bring my flask with me everywhere I go and dance down the street while I'm drinking out of it.
crispy ☮: lol is that an every day thing for you? =)
Looks fun. I love dancing.. esp when I'm tipsy. Woot Woot.
Bklyn Queen: lol. Dancing at home is great. But I get weird stares from my spouse. lol. I was put on hold by the Priceline cruise lady, and it had Caribbean music on, so I was dancing HA HA HA. And my wife just stares at me and asks what the heck I'm doing. And says I hope you don't do that at work. LOL
Haha! Todd probably looks like Elaine from Seinfeld, or Chandler from Friends when he dances. Lol. I love to dance when I go out but give up due to the terrible pain caused by heels. I don't dance at home though I should. Great way to relax one self.
mylittlecasey *: i'm saying you're the life of the party dancing it up latin, and hip hop that you learned from your classes. =P
Prospect Mak: LMAO What's that supposed to mean??! lol
Todd the dork: And this post conference has not started because they're in the back in the after party doing some drunk dancing, burning some calories.
Sydney Fowler: what city do you live? In NYC there's so many places!
Prospect Mak: *hic* yep!
A A: No problem AA, glad to help. When was the last time you went dancing.
Todd the dork: Ha ha So that's what you guys do when I sign off for the night?
Trinity Lane: so you're saying you dance every other day? =P
