4 Health Benefits of Dancing
There are many health benefits you can gain from adding a small dose of dancing to your daily life. Here is a list of 4 health benefits from dancing and how it can improve your physical and mental health.
1. Posture
Dancers practice maintaining proper posture for balance, optimal performance and to reduce risk of injury. Proper posture can not only help keep your joints and bones in proper alignment, research shows that it may improve your mood and outlook on life too. Many people learn social dancing just for fun and develop good posture along the way.
2. Weight Control & Muscle Tone
There are many styles of dance; some slow and steady and some are quick and calculated. Whichever you choose to engage in, you can be sure that you are burning calories and improving muscle tone at the same time. Get fit and have fun along the way? Oh yeah!
3. Balance & Flexibility
These two skills are necessary not only in dance but also in everyday life and especially as we age. Dancing not only improves your balance and flexibility but it increases your confidence and blood flow at the same time. A warm-up and cool-down are essential before and after any dancing session.
4. Improved Mood
When we dance, our brains release neurotransmitters known as endorphins. Endorphins and other compounds trigger this euphoric response and makes you feel happy. Have you ever heard of the “runner’s high”? Sometimes you need a little encouragement to get on the dance floor, but once you do, you’ll be happy you did!
Finally, is it too late to start dancing?
It’s never too late to start dancing or improve your overall health. We have people of all ages and people with various health issues who come to our studio and enjoy dancing. Age and health issues do not determine whether you succeed at it, or even enjoy it. Free yourself from those arbitrary limitations, and give yourself freedom to pursue dance.
