The Perks of Dance Lessons
Whether you used to dance as a child, or you’ve always had two left feet, it’s never too late to learn to dance. You’ll never feel more alive than when you’re dancing. No matter what your skill level, there’s a type of dance for everyone!
Here are 8 reasons why you should take dance lessons:
1. Exercise For Weight Management
Dancing is a great way to get in shape and have fun. Plus learning some great dance moves will make you feel like the total bad@%! The best part? You won’t even realize how many calories were burned because of all this enjoyment!
Fast or slow, all dances offer great opportunities for cardio work. Plus sustained movement helps with posture, staying focused, and engaging your core.
2. Stress Reduction
Americans are more stressed than they’ve ever been before, and after all of the COVID issues, people are struggling to handle it every day. Stress has a number of bad side effects that can cause serious problems. Fortunately, dance lessons are a great way to reduce your stress. When you’re learning a skill like dance, you need to be completely engaged and present at the moment. Leave your stress behind, and focus on learning a new dance. Less stress, more fun.
3. Physical Therapy to Help With Injuries
Many people are wary of working out if they’re had a recent injury. But it can actually be worse to not move, particularly if you’ve had a back injury.
By communicating well with your instructors, you can focus on recovering from your injury while still getting exercise and learning new skills. You may need to take shorter dance lessons, and the types of dances you do will need to be carefully chosen. But you should focus on gradually improving your ability and agility.
4. Tone Your Muscles
Hoping to build some muscle? Or just want to look better?
Dance lessons require you to use every muscle group. You also use all of those muscle groups at the same time, so you enjoy some serious muscle tone.
As you try different types of dance, you’ll be doing using your body to navigate a wide variety of tempos and movements. There’s a reason why professional dancers have such killer bodies!
5. Socialize
Often, we get so wrapped up in work and errands, we forget to get out and meet people. Dance lessons are particularly great if you work at home, you’ve just moved to a new city, or you tend to be a little shy.
You’ll get to meet many different people, spanning many different backgrounds. But you’ll all have at least one thing in common- a desire to learn how to dance.
The great thing about learning? Everyone is in the same boat. That means laughing together when you mess up, encouraging each other, and growing as a group. If you’d like to meet some new people, dancing is a great way to socialize
