Dancing is a form of
art that enables us to express things or communicate with other people. Dance
is generally referring to the movement of the body and it is usually rhythmic.
It is also used as a form of expression or social interaction. Have you noticed
that people who are into dancing have different aura in them, and they seem to
be more gay and comfortable as they can sway and move at ease and then there is
the beauty that emanates from them especially when they are dancing or after
they had just danced? The spirit of
dance is within us all. Children, on hearing music, will often move their
bodies and connect to a rhythm quite naturally. Dancing is a primal and ancient
form of movement that has been part of our lives from the beginning of time.
There is also no doubt that dancing is a wonderful exercise, which not only
releases and frees our bones, muscles and joints, but also raises spirits.
Dancing is the
best form of exercise especially if you are busy and want to have some fun
while doing it. It is not boring and while dancing you can listen to music and then
you are more attuned to yourself. Men and women alike can have this form of
exercise too. Whatever form of dancing you choose, be it solo, with a partner
or a group it is an awesome way of making you fitter.
Many forms of dancing can cause weight loss. Not only does dance raise the heart rate
through movement, it also tones and tightens the major muscle groups of the
body. Dancing can burn as many calories as walking, swimming, or riding a
bicycle.
Dancing is also good for the mind because it develops our
memory during the dance itself. It makes us healthier since it improves blood
circulations, reduces the risk of osteoporosis and cardiovascular diseases. It
also encourages coordination, balance and muscle strength.
Other benefits we
get from dancing are:
·
Lowers cholesterol: When you dance, your fats
are burned at the same time.
·
Helps to cure dementia at old age, because you
memorize steps and remember the rhythm.
·
It makes you feel good about yourself.
·
You exercise while having fun too and enjoying
the company of others while you share thoughts and socializing especially if it
is social dancing or you have a partner.
·
It is not tedious or boring as you are
accompanied with music.
·
It is not expensive as you can do this on your
own.
·
It is a form of communication too, bodily movements
and synchronization is important if you have a partner too.
