Ballroom dancing
not only keeps the body young, it also keeps the brain younger
and more active by activating both hemispheres of the brain simultaneously.
On the ballroom dance floor, the body with the help of the brain (while
engaged in a physical conversation with another person) is constantly
ideantifying possible problems, gaging the outcome of possible
actions, and coming up with creative solutions to avoid conflict.
This is all done instanteneously.
Schools, hospitals,
nursing homes, physical therapists, businesses and
corporations with many employees are a few examples of
professional institutions that can benefit from the health
and wellness benefits that dancing can offer. Not only
does dancing help the physical body, it also lifts the
spirit, promotes better moods as well as greater productivity
and creativity.
