Reasons To Enroll In A Dance Class
There are plenty of reasons a child and an adult should take dance classes
. One reason is health. Getting and keeping healthy isn't easy. There are just too many temptations out there. There are computers, video games, television, fast food and a bunch of other things. Children are so used to eating junk, until they often don't appreciate healthier foods. If you can't get your child to eat healthier, then get them to exercise. Enrolling into a dance class is a good way to have fun while getting in shape.
Many adults have fond memories of taking dance classes as children or adolescents and wish to resume their instruction. Other adults have never taken lessons, but have wanted to since childhood. If this describes you, then now is the time to start. You'll be surprised at the benefits you'll gain from this in the future.
Physical Benefits
1. Strength. Dancing builds muscular strength by using your own body weight as resistance. Many genres, such as ballet and jazz, require jumping and leaping through the air. Jumping and leaping properly demands very strong leg muscles.
2. Endurance. If you want to increase your cardiovascular fitness and endurance levels, get up and get moving to the music. Building endurance means training your muscles to work hard for lengthy time periods without experiencing fatigue.
If you are interested in participating in classes to build your endurance and your cardiovascular fitness, then consider particularly high-energy styles including Swing, Ballroom and Latin. National health experts recommend adults receive 30 to 60 minutes a day of physical exercise. An enjoyable dance class once or twice a week is a fantastic way to fulfill your body's requirement for exercise, while still having fun.
3. Flexibility. Participating in the classes will definitely help you to improve upon your flexibility. You'll never start a class without a physical warm-up that includes stretching exercises. Your head, neck, shoulders, upper back, lower back, upper legs, lower legs and sides will always get a good stretch.
You will also improve your range of motion. You should have an easier time moving your shoulders, arms, and back. When your range of motion is increased, you will notice that your muscles are able to extend and flex better. Since most genres of dance require lots of bending and stretching, your flexibility will improve the longer you dance.
Social and Emotional Benefits
1. Socializing and Making Friends. Participating in dance class is a wonderful way to meet new friends. Many dating, engaged and married couples take Latin and Ballroom dance classes together, as they are able to exercise and socialize together and learn romantic partner dances.
2. Improved Self-Esteem and Body Image. Unfortunately, many women in our society suffer with self-esteem and body image problems, caused partially by the unhealthy and unrealistic images of women portrayed in the media.
As you concentrate on dancing and learning new dance steps, your self-esteem will gradually rise. As you learn graceful new ways for your body to move through space, you will gain a better appreciation and respect for your body, resulting in a healthier body image.
There's no need to keep wishing and dreaming. Go out and take that dance class you've always dreamed about taking. It doesn't matter if you're an adult. The time to get started is now.
