What are the Benefits?
Cognition
Keep your mind sharp and active while you move! Dancing is a wonderful way to boost your memory and concentration.
Studies show that people who enjoy dancing regularly often have quicker reaction times and better coordination than those who don't.
Learning new steps is not just good for your body; it is like a workout for your brain.
Enjoy a clearer mind and better focus, all while enjoying the music and movement. A lovely way to help your memory stay strong.
Balance
One of the most commonly cited benefits of dance for older people is an improvement in balance.
Balance, mobility and fear of falling are major factors associated with the risk of falling in older people. Studies have shown improvements in balance and have also been shown to improve ‘balance confidence’ which can be associated with a reduced risk of falls.
Fun
When asked what older dancers love most, they often mention feeling stronger and more alert. But above all, they talk about the joy.
Smiles, warm conversation, and plenty of laughter. Simply, it's about having a wonderful time together while moving to beautiful music.
Confidence
Ballet brings a renewed sense of self-assurance as you master new steps and sequences. This internal confidence often translates to everyday life.
Growing in capability is a timeless improver of self confidence.
