The benefits of dancing

In Dancing in Riverside, you will learn all the benefits of dancing, such as:

 

  1. Physical Benefits

Lose Weight: A recent study that was published in Volume 8 issue #3 of the Journal of Applied Research, suggests that the combination of a proper diet and a regular dance program could be the key to shedding those extra unwanted pounds. The study was conducted by the Department of Physical Therapy at Loma Linda University in the city of Loma Linda California. The researchers combined a sensible diet with a 1 hour a day dance program, and this is what they found: 7.5 pounds lost, 3.2 inches lost from the hips and 28.6% increase in the core muscle strength.

  1. Mental Benefits

According to the New England Journal of Medicine, studies have found that dancing increases cognitive activity, and subsequently decreases the risk of developing dementia. And based on a reading of these results by Stanford University, dancing frequently reduces the risk of dementia by 76% – considerably more than any other activity studied, including reading. The reason for this is that dancing requires you to make split-second, rapid-fire decisions, basically with every step you take. These kind of exercises have been shown to increase and maintain brain function in people of all ages. According to Stanford, In freestyle social dancing, both men and women are spontaneously open to the infinite possibilities of the moment, responding to one’s partner and to the music.

Types of Dancing

Beside you will learn different dances and type of application such as:

 

  • Social Dancing: Social dancing is designed to develop poise and confidence on the dance floor. Its primary objective is to strengthen the individual’s leading or following ability to the point that no matter who your partner is, you will feel physically and mentally confident. The patterns used are generally suitable for smaller floors and so is the arm styling. Advanced styling is not the primary objective of social dancing.

 

  • Showcase Dancing: Showcase dancing is a means of developing one’s ability by spending concentrated time on one or more dances. Preparing a showcase routine is very beneficial for developing confidence, style, pattern knowledge and smoothness. This type of dancing is very stylized and much of the time is spent on footwork, technique and the character of the dance as well as the personality of the dancer. Once the routine is complete, one feels they have gained a tremendous amount of knowledge and confidence in a relatively short period of time.

 

  • Competitive Dancing: Competitive dancing combines the skills of both the social dancer and the showcase performer. Like the social dancer, competitors must maneuver, maintain poise and adjust to the various conditions surrounding them while having all of the flare, style, technique and precision of an exhibition dancer.
