Dance is an art form where the body moves rhythmically, usually to the beat of the music. A simple movement such as walking, clapping in a pattern, to a particular rhythm, can be termed as dance. Dance allows you to express your emotions and communicate with the rest of the world. It also helps in engaging you; socially, physically, and emotionally all at the same time.

Every culture has a different dance form associated with it. It was used for varying purposes that reveal much about their way of life. It can be an art, or ritual or could be used to tell tales of the past.

Dance has evolved even before the arrival of a written form of language. There are no written documents or artefacts to prove its existence but, archaeological findings like stone carvings, paintings, and similar objects say dancing is at least 9000 years old in India. In ancient times, dance was performed to express emotions, moods, or ideas; tell a story; serve religious, political, economic, or social needs.

Getting fit does not have to be the chore it’s often perceived to be. Instead, as people all around the globe are finding out each day, dancing is one of the best fitness workouts there is.

Dancing offers upbeat and inventive exercise, that promotes a more healthy and active lifestyle. Sociable, energizing, and life-affirming, dance has a whole host of body benefits, from aiding joint flexibility to boosting mental wellbeing. Most forms of dance may be considered aerobic exercise and as such can also reduce the risk of cardiovascular disease, help weight control, stress reduction, and bring about other benefits commonly associated with physical fitness. In addition, studies have demonstrated a considerable correlation between dancing and psychological well-being. A large amount of governmental, health, and educational information is available extolling the benefits of dance for health.

Regular dance exercise improves the endurance of body muscles, allowing them to work harder for longer periods of time without feeling tired. Dancing also raises the body’s heart rate to heighten stamina. You’ll be jumping out of bed each morning in no time. Not feeling tired anymore. A healthy body needs joints and muscles to be flexible; something that dance can really help with. Most dance styles involve a great range of motion and movement, allowing major muscle groups to be flexed and properly worked out. As a result, the dancer’s body should soon become more nimble. As well as making your body feel fitter and healthier, regular dancing exercise will also reduce mental tension and lead you on the path to a stress-free mind. Dance stimulates happiness endorphins in the brain to alleviate day-to-day worries and concerns.

Whether you’re salsa dancing, gliding across a ballroom floor, or tapping your toes to some two-step rock, dance exercise offers an easy and enjoyable way to burn off unwanted calories. A half-hour of dancing can burn between 200 and 400 calories so why not run away from that miserable treadmill training and dance along to the fitness beat?

Dancing could be the solution to make your mind feel younger and more alert. Dance improves memory, as it forces participants to recall steps, patterns, and elaborate routines to offer a mental workout for the mind.

Grooving to the beats of salsa, flamenco, and merengue music feels more like a dance party than a workout, which is exactly what makes Zumba so popular. 

The Latin-inspired dance workout is one of the most popular group exercise classes in the world. The high-energy classes are set to upbeat music and feature choreographed dance numbers that you might see in a nightclub. You don’t need to be a great dancer to feel welcome in a Zumba class.

“Ditch the Workout – Join the Party!”

Zumba fitness is an effective interval-style, full-body workout with built-in variety because every class and every instructor is slightly different. Equally important is the notion that Zumba classes are entertaining, which means exercisers are busy burning calories and getting fit while enjoying the fun of Latin dancing.
