Why is Dancing Good for Your Brain?


Not only is dancing a wonderful exercise for the body but also is great for the mind. 

Multiple studies have shown and proven that dancing regularly helps improve your brain and boosts memory. 

With dancing, there are patterns of steps, sequences, choreographies, and movement to music which is quite the bit to juggle. Having the ability to do or learn this helps your brain so much and reduces the risk of dementia. Being able to dance means there is lots of coordination going on in your body. Between what your feet, knees, arms, center, and face is doing, it doesn’t stop there! There is also music that adds on to the list of things to coordinate to your body. Dancing consists of memorizing steps and routines which activates and mentally stimulates your brain. 

Now, not only do you want to dance for fun or for exercise, but now there’s an additional benefit to dancing that you will feel long lasting differences in.
