Ballroom and Latin dancing has a number of mental, physical and social benefits for students of all ages:

• Ballroom dancing reduces the risk of Dementia. The Einstein aging study showed that participants who ballroom danced two to three times a week reduced their risk of Dementia by 76 percent. Keep your mind sharp.

• Studies by the American Heart Association showed that the amount of oxygen their lungs pumped into the bloodstream rose by 18 percent in cardiac patients who ballroom danced.

• Dancing reduces stress levels and decreases levels of depression. Ballroom dancing also reduces cortisol, a hormone associated with stress. Dancing releases endorphins which affects your mood and lifts your spirits.

• Dancing with a partner has more positive affects than dancing alone.

• Couples that sway together, stay together.

• Get the look of confidence! Dance encourages good posture and body alignment, and will strengthen your body’s core abdominal muscles.

• You’ll burn calories without even realizing. Recent studies have shown that Waltzing three times per week is better than the same amount of time on a treadmill or exercise bike.

• Dancing is a great social activity. You’ll spend your evenings on the dance floor instead of alone in front of the TV.

• It’s never too late to put your dancing shoes on. You can discover a new passion and joy in your life at any age.

• Ballroom dancing will make you stronger, happier, healthier, and smarter. It will bring you joy.
