Did you know that dancing relieves stress, aids relaxation, builds self-esteem, straightens your posture, helps your social ease, and boosts emotional and physical health?

Surprising your body with new activities, DANCE forces it to work harder because it is doing unfamiliar movements and using muscle groups in different ways.  In the process you burn more calories than doing just resistance or cardio training.  Ballroom, Latin, Swing, or any dancing in general can raise the heartbeat anywhere from 80 to 120 beats per minute. Sustained in 2-minute bursts over a 45-minute period, dancing will build the hearts strength and endurance. Dancing is also the perfect blend of isometric and isotonic resistance, two key ingredients in muscle building and toning.  Besides working every muscle in the body, dancing is good for your heart and mind.
