The Health
Benefits of Dance

— one hour of dance beats an hour on the treadmill.
Three Systems, One Activity
Most exercise trains the body. Most games train the mind. Dance is one of the only things that trains both — at the same time — with another person.
Body
Steady cardio, better posture and balance, stronger legs, and low-impact joint movement — perfect for every age.
Brain
Learning new steps builds neural connections. A landmark NEJM study found dance cut dementia risk by up to 76% in older adults.
Bond
Moving with a partner or in a class releases oxytocin, builds trust, and fights the loneliness linked to nearly every chronic disease.
