    Well dancing creates bone structure and it builds up lower and upper body strength.

    The same way jogging or walking is. It is especially good for you heart, muscles and bones, not to mention your mental health. However if you are dancing with me, it is probably not too good for your feet, since most of the time I'm stepping on them..

    I think you should try dancing first by you self then if you think you need a coach you can contact.
    * Listen to the rhythm. With most music that people dance to on a casual basis, you can pick up the beat by counting to four repeatedly
    * Bob your head to the rhythm. If the beat is on the slower side, you can bob your head so that your chin is down at every count.
    * Shift your weight between your feet. You can continue bobbing your head, if it helps, but don't stop counting yet.
    * Move your feet. Once you're shifting your weight to the rhythm, practice moving your feet. Right before you shift your weight to a foot, move it slightly, even just an inch or two from where it was before.
    * Move your hips. When you put your weight on a foot, move your hips (and your body) slightly in the direction of that foot.
    * Throw your hands in the air and keep them loose. This is the part that indicates to people that you're having fun. If you're uncomfortable, the tendency is to keep your arms close, or let them hang limp. Instead, move your arms around.
    * Lose yourself in the music. Let your body move naturally to the rhythm.
    Best of luck..

    Dancing is a great hobbie to get into. If you dance correctly you will get stronger almost everywhere. Your abs, angles, feet, calfs... ect you won't regret it
