Have you ever considered joining a dance class?

                Whether you have never danced before or used to dance when you were young, joining a dance class has many benefits.  Here are 5 Best reasons why you should join a dance class.

Reduce Stress

                Have you been feeling overwhelmed or unable to cope with mental or emotional events? Dancing has been proven to help reduced stress. According to ScienceDirect, “dance movement therapy improves stress management and reduces stress.”  The side effects of stress can include headaches, reduce energy, chest pain, insomnia, poor judgment, and the list goes on.

                Fortunately, dancing has been known to reduce stress.  When you engaged in dance activities, your mind focuses on what step or move to take next. When your mind is focused on dancing besides your next project or paper due, you just reduced stress while having fun at the same time.

Weight Management

                At some point in time, we all struggle with managing our weight. For most of us who are intimidated by going to the gym, dancing can be that supplement. Great news for everyone, dancing is an excellent way of burning unwanted calories.  The best part of it is you are having fun at the same time.

Build and Tone Muscles

                Have you ever noticed that most dancers have toned bodies? There is a reason for that.  Dance movements use core engaging difficult exercises. Dancing is not limited to single muscle exercises.  Dancing involves compound exercises using multiple joints and muscle groups at the same time.

Socialize

                Socializing is something we tend to forget with our busy schedules.  Just being around like-minded people who also want to learn to dance and just have fun.  Or if you just moved to a new city and wanting to meet others, joining a dance class is a great way to meet new friends.  If you have no time to join a physical dance class, consider joining an online dance.  This is also a great way of socializing with others online.

Have Fun

                Lastly, do not forget to have fun.  Remember why you joined a dance class in the beginning.  Wherever your dance career may lead you, have fun, meet new people, and don’t forget the people who helped you along the way.
