Forget that some people may call any given martial art "a dance". To them, it is martial dance if you don't do full contact, and it involves elbows, knees and ground work.
To me, dance is perhaps one of the best ways to improve your martial art - any martial art - soft or hard.
Why?
Because of the rhythm, balance, co-ordination and spatial awareness; plus the aerobic conditioning of course.
Story:
(Martial arts moves)
Stunt coordinator Manny Siverio, 46, who has worked on more than 100 major motion pictures, including "Hollywood Ending" and "Blade," has a busy career but always finds time to salsa dance.
"I invent steps at the train station," says Siverio, who learned martial arts at age 10 and was introduced to salsa dancing when he married Addie Diaz-Siverio, a mambo-salsa teacher. "Now I incorporate martial arts moves into salsa dance."
