12 Important Reasons Why you Should Dance

Importance Of Dance:

1. Concentration and memory - Learning and remembering new footwork and body movement sharpens your brain work too. Research shows that combined mental and physical activities helps to slow the onset of Alzheimer's and dementia. 
2. Coordination and fitness - Tightly coordinating your brain and body is a safe way to exercise which burns calories, increases endurance, improves cardiovascular fitness, and if done regularly reduces blood pressure and strengthens yours bones. 
3. Understanding of how your body works - learn to use biomechanics to work your body beautifully on the dance floor.   
4. Knowledge of yourself - your strengths and weaknesses both physically and psychologically.
5. Stress relief - By focusing on your immediate task of learning to dance, you forget your other worries and stress, for at least as long as the lesson and every time you practice. It's a great way to relax to be "Dance Happy!"
6. Ability to sleep better - sleep comes quicker and you sleep sounder with reduced stress and more physical exercise.
7. Endurance and ability to push through your physical limitations - It avoids the monotony of working out at the gym and is more fun than physical therapy to help you recover from an injury. Plus developing your balance and coordination will help prevent falls and injuries. 
8. Work ethic by practicing - helps develop discipline and dependability. 
9. Courage to try new things - in a safe and healthy environment you can take the risks to learn and build confidence as you develop new skills.
10. Opportunities to meet people - A non-threatening, socially relaxed environment is the best way to meet new people who share your interests in dancing.  While dancing you may meet a new friend, a dance partner, or the love of your life. 
11. Own form of movement in graceful and unique ways - discover your body and how to move and express it with comfort and agility while expressing your individuality.
12. Awareness through musicality, rhythm, movement - learn to first hear music, then feel music, and sense an absolute awareness of both your body and your partner's body movement.
