Line Dancing Burns Calories in Las Vegas
According to
myfitnesspal.com, a 150-pound person burns about 306 calories an hour of country line dancing. That’s 50 calories more than brisk walking - and much more fun.
Dancing lessons may burn slightly fewer calories as the first hour is often about learning the moves, watching instructors, and trying out new dance steps. The second hour tends to burn more calories, as it is dedicated to full-on dancing.
Of course, since most of the dancing also takes place in locations with delicious food and drinks, you’ll have to stay focused. Balance your dancing with what you’re ordering from the bar and kitchen. Life is full of tough decisions, right?
