Regular physical activity is indisputable regarding the proven health benefits – it builds muscle and bone, reduces fat, increases aerobic capacity, lowers blood pressure, and improves the ratio of “good” and “bad” cholesterol. Dance provides you with more benefits beyond those of exercise. Music stimulates the brain and excites you to get up, while dance activates your body to move and groove with the music. Below are some additional benefits to why dancing is so good for your overall health and wellness.
- Physical Health Benefits: Dancing is exercise. It helps improve cardiovascular health, improves balance, strength, and gait, and is accessible to everyone who wants to have some fun while exercising.
- Mental Health Benefits: Dancing challenges your brain. It requires you to focus on the constant changing of movements and recall of moves and patterns. Mastering dance movements and sequences helps improve memory and problem-solving in every age.
- Emotional Health Benefits: Dancing is fun. Everybody is always having a good time while dancing, which helps boost your mood. It is also incredibly inclusive; if you can move, even if it is just your upper body, you can dance.
Dancing is a great way to connect to your body, music, and have fun with family, friends, and others!
