You might try to live by the motto, “Dance like no one is watching,” and what better place to do that than a dance club? Even if you don’t know all the latest moves, there are still plenty of good reasons to dust off your dancing shoes and head out for a night on the town. 

4 Reasons to Go Dancing 

1. Exercise

Don’t feel like hitting the gym? A night spent dancing burns calories and improves your endurance. Fast dancing, the type you’re likely to do at a dance club, can burn about 200 calories in just 30 minutes. Unlike trudging away on a treadmill, dancing is fun, and the time will pass quickly. 

2. Improve Your Mood 

Getting your groove on at a dance club benefits more than your physique—it can improve your mood too. A study showed that people who dance with a group have the fewest symptoms of depression. If nothing else, spending time with your friends and laughing is a good mood booster. 

3. Boost Your Social Life

Heading out to a dance club lets you spend time with friends, but also introduces you to new people. Studies show that dancing with others leads to feelings of connection. You never know—that person you meet on the dance floor or at the bar could turn out to be a lifelong friend or even something more. 

4. Find New Music

Listening to music stimulates your brain to release happy chemicals, and visiting a club can introduce you to new songs and artists that you might not have heard otherwise. Visiting clubs with live shows will expand your cultural horizons and give you insight into the local music scene. 

If you’re ready to have fun and dance the night away, Hula’s Bar & Lei Stand is the perfect place to do it. The legendary dance club has been a destination for food and fun on Honolulu’s Waikiki Beach for more than 40 years.
