Dance IS the best therapy..

#danceisthebesttherapy

As we are entering our third national lockdown I’m sure that the majority of us are thinking “here we go again…”.  The weather is not as it was the first time round so we are likely to be spending more time within four walls so it’s time to escape…

There’s something about moving to the sound of music that distracts us and take our cares away.  Whether it’s classical for ballet & barre, upbeat for BodyBeat (Zumba) or lyrical for danceflo (jazz & contemporary dance) it is undeniable that the combination of the two helps our mental and physical health.

Benefits include:

• Improving posture & flexibility and increasing energy levels.

• Keeps your mind sharp: remembering steps and combinations boosts cognitive performance & challenges your brain - not to mention mine!

• The endorphins produced by dancing lifts your mood and reduces symptoms of depression and anxiety.

• Reduces pain and stiffness, increases flexibility and strengthens joints and ligaments and keeps your heart healthy!!

Whether it’s The Body Coach Joe Wicks or little ol’ me there’s a huge amount out there to choose from, just please make sure that whatever you do is safe because if you injure yourself that will affect your mental and physical health so stay safe in and out of the house!
