As a dance instructor, I have found that dancing is one of life’s simple pleasures. It is an art that can really brighten people’s lives. It breaks the normal day-to-day routine and makes people feel more alive. Studies show that there are health benefits too. Dancing aids in emotional and mental levels, burns calories, and encourages better range of motion.
Usually when someone decides to start a new exercise regiment they rarely consider the level of fun or enjoyment it includes. It makes sense that we should consider “enjoyment” as a part of our exercise program. If you enjoy doing something, the results will be far more effective and you are likely to continue with the program.
People have fun when they dance. Notice a person while they are dancing and you will see them smiling and laughing. This is because it allows you to to be free and enjoy life. There is no age barrier in dancing. A person of any age can enjoy the art of dance while building a more healthy lifestyle in the process.
