DanceInTime is developing a swim exercise program which enables people to do water exercises in time to music. Generally at water exercise programs, the teacher moves to cool, fast paced songs. Those in the water cannot move that fast due to water resistance, so they are doing exercises against the time of the music. But the SwimInTime program will use slower music (fewer beats per minute) so that exercisers can have the joy of moving in time to great music.

Movement, music, and socializing are all well documented to enhance feelings of physical and mental well being.  Partnership dances such as Salsa blend all these elements, making them a great tool for enhancing health.

DanceInTime has run team building programs at schools and offices that use Latin dancing.  This is a fun way for people who work or study together to connect, and has a positive impact on cooperation and performance!

Dancers and athletes cultivate similar skills: speed, power, coordination, isolating muscles and keeping their weight forward on their feet for agility of movement.  This makes dance training a perfect way to build team spirit, have fun, and enhance athletic skills that translate to success on the field!

Research shows that using the arts in academic subjects enhances learning at all grade levels and makes lessons fun as well!  Bernstein has developed some programs that apply dancing to lessons in middle and upper school mathematics—as well as social studies, etc.

Read some fascinating research on dancing—including cross cultural differences in how people view Latin dancing, studies on how criminals choose people to victimize based on how they move, etc.!

Something about music and dance brings out strong feelings. We all know it’s true. So adding music and dance to a marriage proposal is the best way to make it an emotionally peak experience……And that’s where we come in!
