If you’re anything like me, you love watching YouTube dance videos for inspiration. The only thing is, there’s so much out there to choose from. For this reason, I’ve done the legwork (so to speak) and would like to introduce you to a few of my favorites. Here goes.

Hospital orthopedic staff start their morning with a dance before their shift.

What a delightful way to begin your day. This group of hospital personnel gets together every morning before work to dance. As a matter of fact, some come in very early before their shift just to be a part of it. They claim it gets their blood going. Not only that, but it also tickles the patients to know that their caregivers are down the hall doing the Cupid Shuffle.

What’s to stop you from putting together a little pre-work routine for you and your co-workers? To be sure, it’ll put a smile on your face as you bond with your work buddies. Nothing wrong with that.

Try Ballroom Dancing… In A Wheelchair

Talk about inspiration. Cheryl was injured at 14 and, having lost the use of her legs, has been in a wheelchair ever since. Nevertheless, she’s now in her 50’s and a wheelchair ballroom dancer. I love that she says, “I don’t dance with my legs, I dance with my heart“.

Top Ten Most Influential Vintage Swing Dance Clips

Now we’re talking. The history of Swing dancing is documented in this fantastic series of 10 clips and an animated bonus clip by Brian at http://www.SwingDance.la (as in Los Angeles). In fact, you’ll see everything from Whitey’s Lindy Hoppers to Lindy Hop legends Dean Collins and Jewel McGowan in Abbot and Costello’s movie, Buck Privates.

Speaking of Swing, here’s a Dance Safari post called, “Shuffle Dancing to Electro Swing is Fun“.

In short, I really enjoyed sifting through all the information online to get to these jewels. I hope you find a few that’ll make a difference in your life.
