Head Banger	any physical movement will help you lose weight, dancing is a ton of fun too, i did ballroom dancing for a year to get the hang of dancing at balls and stuff. Lot of fun in my opinion. If you like hip hop dance you can do that too. Anyway dancing will help you lose some weight, over time. If you want to lose weight faster your going to need to do more demanding exercises.

Andra A	Hi! I think that dancing helps you lose weight, but you also need a diet. Eating healthy food, vegetables and fruit is a good and sure method to lose weight. But you must always eat something daily Do not starve yourself! It's very dangerous! You could get a heart diseases and you could also die!..Stay away from junk food like pizza, hamburgers and snacks. Also stay away from sodas. Drink natural juices or water. Now about dancing :P Well, I tried belly-dancing and it worked. Don't laugh ;) It works the mussels! I am very happy with the results :) Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

Sufi	Yes, i lost 80 lbs. I used dance meditation. but any kind might work. You just have to do it maybe 2 hours a day. Also take yoga. Partly how it works is not just by using calories but also by changing how you feel about yourself and your body. Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

heidiagin	Dancing can be great exercise, but you're only going to lose weight if you burn more calories than you ingest. So the dancing has to get your heart rate up to a certain level and you need to keep your heart rate up for a certain amount of time in order to be burning calories. Usually this is 30 minutes or so constant exercise. And should be done at least 3-4 times a week if not every day. You have to cut out chips and soda and extras like that, eat appropriately-sized portions of nutritious food at least 3 times a day. I also suggest strongly that you talk to your parents or doctor for what kind and levels of exercise would be appropriate for your body and if you need to lose weight. Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

JAREAD	It was my understanding that Chubby Checkers lost forty pounds doing the twist. But there is an Italian Dance called the "Tarantella". Interestingly enough, the dance was originated to make the dancer sweat out the poison after a bite by a Tarantula spider". Guaranteed to lose weight also. Then there are Polkas and Reels to consider, But you must remember that diet has a lot to eat and your bodily metabolism. Once thing you must do if you want to lose weight: Just remember that there is no bread in the world and your pounds will fall off. It worked for Sid Cesar and it will work for you. Stay away from French Fries also. Remember if it is good, it is either fattening or illegal. At least that's what they say. Good Luck Young Lady Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

gromitcollett	Anything that leaves you out of breathe, involves muscle movement and has the potential to make you sweat is exercise Dancing is a fantastic source of exercise, but you must do it regularly, for at least half an hour and you must drink lots and lots of water (most people forget to because they're enjoying themselves too much) If you're still not sure, look up pictures of the UK's rave scene of the early nineties...you won't find a single overweight dancer.
