Benefits - Dancing leads to improved balance, coordination, proprioception, strength, gait, agility, and improved cognitive function in areas such as procedural learning and overall neuromuscular health and functional mobility, well-being and fitness levels. Also, by continuing to dance past the age of 50, regular dance activity reduces the occurrence of a number of chronic conditions including cardiovascular disease, diabetes, cancer, hypertension, obesity, osteoporosis and depression.
A recent study showed that dancing prevents the development of dementia by 76%! Studies also show that only 20% of males and 17% of females between the ages of 65 and 74 get enough exercise. It then drops to only 9% males and 7% females over the age of 75.
