Top 5 Health Benefits of Ballroom Dancing:
Muscle Toning: Mozart’s beautiful music is an amazing source of inspiration for developing muscle toning as you and your dancing partner must resist each other’s body strength. The fast turns, spinning and two-stepping all contribute to building muscle. Are you ready to look long and lean?
Bones and Joints: Ballroom dance will get your heart pumping while protecting bone density and prevent osteoporosis! As a weight-resisting activity, dancing is a wonderful way to decrease exercise-related injuries. The National Osteoporosis Foundation has ascertained that the intensity exercises associated with dancing causes formation of new bone tissues, making you bones stronger and rigid.
Fat Burning: Fun fact – Just thirty minutes of dancing will boost your metabolism. Imagine burning anywhere between 200-400 calories so quickly! Time will fly compared to climbing the stair machine…
Flexibility: Ballroom classes start by stretching and warming up. This warm up is critical for protecting your body against dance-related injuries and allow easy movement across the dance floor. By nature, dancing embraces plenty of stretching and bending which increases the more you dance.
Social Connectivity and Brain Food: Joining a ballroom dance class engages you to a new community of people who share common interests, enjoy uplifting conversations, and potentially lower stress levels. Keeping up with the steps is a great way to work your brain power as well. Sky offers FREE bi-weekly social dance class on Fridays. The positive benefits are overwhelming!
