5 Reasons to Choose Dance

We know that you have many choices when looking for a physical activity for yourself or for your child.  Here are 5 great reasons why choosing dance is the right choice.

1.) Physical

Dancing provides many physical benefits including cardio exercise, weight control, increased energy, flexibility, muscle tone, balance, grace, coordination, posture and body awareness.

2.) Mental

Dancing has been demonstrated to be clinically effective at improving body self-image, confidence, self-esteem and increased attentiveness.  Remembering sometimes complex dance moves and choreography enhances cognitive learning.

3.) Emotional

Dancing helps people feel more joyful and confident and also allows them to express themselves more easily.

4.) Social
