I love feeling high. Yes, that’s right. There is nothing better than the feeling of ecstasy, happiness, joy and laughter. It’s addictive, natural, exhilarating and something we all seek. Imagine if you could tap into that everyday of your life…imagine if you could feel that good without a hang over the next day.

You know where I’m going with this. Maybe I shouldn’t have given it away in the title. Why don’t you try using dance as a drug? Set yourself a challenge. Do yourself a favour. Make our tag line your mantra: “Why move when you can groove?” It’s all about doing stuff that you would do everyday, but with groove.

Challenge yourself to see how far you can take this mantra.

Go to a club completely straight. A little word of warning: you may not like what you see. But that’s half the fun. Now keep going. The music is pumping and your body is moving to the beat. You start heading towards the bar. STOP! Turn around, head to the dance-floor. You can do it. “But”, I hear you say, “there’s no-one else on the dance-floor”.  Exactly!

It’s even better if there’s no-one on the dance-floor. Think of the rush you’ll get by being the first one to start. There’s your first bit of natural exhilaration: the adrenaline pumping through your veins. It’s doing its own dance in your body. Your heartbeat drums louder as you move towards the dance-floor. It’s probably easiest to start grooving as you head there, as opposed to walking there and then starting to groove. It’s smoother, you’ll look cooler.

You’re now at the centre of everyone’s attention. Don’t worry though, no-one will remember because they’re all off their faces anyway! Now: let it all out. Close your eyes if you think it will help, and think about how many barriers you’ve broken through to get there. You’re proud of yourself and actually, you’re having a great time. You open your eyes and there are others dancing around you. Yes! You started the dancing for the night. Congratulations! Now keep going because soon you will move from adrenaline to natural ecstasy. And if people approach you asking you for the drugs that you’re on, you can tell them where to get them.

Feeling more adventurous? Try our tag line on for size in situations you normally wouldn’t even think about dancing. I do it at home all the time and admittedly it’s a little harder to do it in the light of day when other people around you are going about their boring lives, but imagine the rush! The supermarket is a good place to start. You can put the “Shopping Trolley” move to the test. And depending on how far you want to take it (I always encourage extremes), you can end your performance with the famous power-slide in Starsky and Hutch. And if you’re wondering, yes, I have done it. [Join our forum discussions on "Ultimate Finishing moves" to brag, share or dare others.]

If you’re at the stage where taking drugs or drinking yourself into a stupor is not appealing anymore or you’re simply looking for a more healthy and less expensive alternative, then dance is the perfect prescription. Get high off the groove!
