8 Reasons Why Dance Classes are Fantastic for Adults!

We know adults are busy, with or without kids. And we want to give you the "feel good" benefits that come with dancing. One of the first things that comes to mind when you think of taking an adult dance class is that it can be a great form of cardiovascular exercise. While that's certainly true, there are many reasons adults should consider attending a regular dance class.

8 reasons why dance classes are fantastic for adults:

1. Manage Your Weight

Dancing is great cardio vascular exercise, but you're never thinking about that while dancing; you're thinking about the moves, the music, the feeling. It is great for your heart and muscles as well as improving flexibility and reducing stress. Dancing regularly can also help increase your daily energy level, which can help you manage your weight while also making other daily activities much more enjoyable.

2. Reduce Your Stress!

When you're dancing there's no space in your brain to stress out about day-to-day life. When you enter the dance studio you can leave your stress and worries at the door and simply enjoy your body's movement.

3. Improve Your Brain

Dancing helps improve your memory. Science shows that a variety of exercises like dance can help support the part of your brain that controls your memory. By learning new skills, routines, and movements, you challenge your brain to be flexible and remember new things!

4. Recover from Injuries

Dancing helps develop muscles, improve circulation, improve posture, balance, coordination and promote greater flexibility. Flexibility is often overlooked as a benefit but can really decrease the chances of injury.

5. Improve your Balance

If you are nervous about falling as you get older, some dance lessons might help ease your worries. Dancing can improve balance in aging adults because it requires a lot of fast movement and good posture. So taking a dance class on a frequent basis will help you stabilize and gain better control of your body.

6. Socialize

A dance class is the perfect setting to make new friends and branch out socially. Maintaining positive relationships may just rank up there with healthy eating and exercise. Being socially engaged leads to increased happiness, reduced stress, and a stronger immune system.

7. Improve Your Mental Health

Dancing really does lift your spirits, according to a study that tested the effects of dancing on people with depression. Patients who participated in an upbeat group dance showed the fewest depression symptoms and the most vitality. Got the blues? Grab a friend and come join us for a dance class.
