The Benefits of Dance

Dancing to music releases endorphins, a.k.a. "feel-good" hormones. These positive feelings can reduce symptoms of depression, stress and anxiety.

Because dancing is a weight-bearing activity, bone density is maintained which as we age is important for reducing the impact of osteoporosis. 

Regular moderate endurance activities such as dancing improve stamina and reduce the risk of dying from cardiovascular disease. 

Prioritizing time in your day that is just for you is critical when we are constantly tasked with  caring for others. We cannot properly care for others when we don’t also care for ourselves. 

Remembering new movement patterns is a great way to challenge our brains and create new neural pathways which can slow age-related cognitive decline. 

By attending classes in a group setting you meet new people & develop new social connections. These positive social interactions are known to increase our overall sense of well-being.
