I don’t know about you, but I never thought about losing weight when I was in college.  In fact, I had no concerns with my weight back then whatsoever!  Why?  Well, for one thing I was more active - walking all over campus.  But for another…I loved to dance.  There was always something going on… and if I wasn’t out dancing, I was definitely doing it around the house or my room.  It was fun, easy and a great feeling.   

When is the last time you went out dancing or even danced around your house?  If its been more than a month (or if you cant remember)…GOOD…then take a look at the following list of great dance spots here in the Washington area and go get your groove thang shakin!!!  Or post your favorite spot to our blog right now:
