Ballroom Dancing Leads to Good Health

Exercise is proven to significantly reduce the risk of many health
conditions. Dancing can assist in the following:

Reducing heart disease risk
Reducing high blood pressure
Reducing weight gain
Strengthening core muscles
Improving posture
Strengthening the spine

Ballroom dancing, performed competitively or as a social activity, has a
demonstrated positive impact on people's health and happiness. The health
benefits of dancing are ongoing.

The movement in all Ballroom and Latin styles of dance, such as changing
direction, shifting weight, and all other type of floor activity,
strengthens the muscles that run the length of your torso, known as the core
muscles. These muscles support your spine and pelvis, helping with balance
and stability. Ballroom dancing also tones your leg muscles to better
support your joints and reduce the aches and pains we all feel, especially
as we get older.

Along with the physical benefits, dancing provides many mental health
benefits. In addition to the mood boosting provided by exercising your
body, learning to dance gives you a sense of achievement. Career success or
material wealth may add to, but are not the key to happiness and emotional
well-being. A well-rounded life must include positive social interactions.
Dancing connects you with other like-minded individuals.
