Why is Ballroom Dancing Good for You? By Dr. Victor Jean Ouellette (www.optimalhealthsecrets.com)
- Ballroom dancing is 'Mind Massaging Movement'. The body is moving while the
mind has to memorize steps then think of what step to do next. This keeps the
mind active and healthy. - Ballroom dancing helps alleviate stress and
depression by giving you something to do, a project that requires effort and
patience. - Ballroom dancing teaches you discipline and self control. - The
physical exercise is good for the joints and good for the heart. - The physical
exercise of dancing helps keep weight down. - Ballroom dancing can be done at
any age right up to the time that you have one foot in the grave and one foot on
a banana peel. - Ballroom dancing is a social activity that gets you out of the
house and into the community. - Ballroom dancing can bring you emotionally
closer to your partner as a sense of accomplishment sets in when the two of you
move as one. Other senses can set in too, but we won't talk about that here. -
Ballroom dancing can be sexy and sensuous even for beginners. - Ballroom dancing
offers multiple skill levels from novice to competition level, always offering
something new to learn.
