Benefits of Dance
1. Improves cardiovascular health.
If you’re feeling tense or stressed out, you might want to grab a partner, turn up the music, and dance! Dancing really does lift your spirits. It helps your mental and emotional health by reducing stress, decreasing the symptoms of anxiety and depression, and boost your self-esteem.
Dance challenges your brain. It requires you to focus on both the constant changing of movement and recalling moves and patterns. Dance has the additional benefits of improving balance through rhythm and music.
Being around other people while dancing is good for your social and emotional health. A dance class is the perfect setting to make new friends and branch out socially. Maintaining positive relationships may just rank up there with healthy eating and exercise. Being socially engaged leads to increased happiness, reduced stress, and a stronger immune system.
