Good for body and mind
Dancing is healthy, makes you happy and everyone can do it. It is mainly about creative movement. With dancing you train different muscle groups and by moving rhythmically you clear your head.
Someone who dances at least once a week is more likely to have a happy and balanced life. Do you want a happy relationship? Then you should regularly go out dancing with your partner. Dancing creates endorphins. This substance creates a feeling of happiness.
Speed
Dancing allows you to train your speed. But then you have to dance to music. You react to the rhythms. So it is important that you have good responsiveness.
Endurance
You also train your endurance. When you go dancing for a night, you will soon be moving on the floor for two hours. If you do this intensively enough, you will be fit by the end of the evening.
Coordination
You train your coordination because you not only dance with your legs, but also use your arms, abdomen, hands and head. Your limbs have to go in a smooth movement.
Memory
The choreography of dancing provides an intensive exercise of the memory. You have to think carefully about when to make which moves. You also train your sense of timing. The movements must be placed exactly to the music.
Losing weight
A dancer burns as many calories as someone who walks, swims or cycles. According to British doctor Vincent Forte, dancing is even healthier than aerobics or jogging. If you do salsa or another active dance, you will notice the first results after a few weeks.
Blood pressure
It is also positive that you never train too hard when dancing. You start to sweat and your heart rate speeds up. But that’s only positive, because it literally stretches your heart and lungs. This lowers your blood pressure and improves blood circulation.
Bones
The lateral movements you make while dancing strengthen your shin, fibula, and femur bone. Those are the bones that carry our weight. Older people who dance regularly have less osteoporosis.
