Dancing

Dancing offers lots of benefits. It can build self confidence, improve coordination and is a great form of exercise. Even better, it’s fun!

​

Whether you’re dancing in a wheelchair, in a class, in the living room or on a stage, busting a move can lighten your mood and help you embrace the present moment.

It’s perhaps long overdue but dance classes are starting to become more inclusive. Both online and studio-based classes are making it easier for everyone to experience the joy of dancing. And if you’re not into classes, try cranking up the music and dance freestyle at home.

​

EXPRESS YOURSELF

Dancing offers a unique way of expressing yourself, especially for people who are non-verbal. It allows everyone to find a movement style unique to them, where words are not necessary.

MOVE IN DIFFERENT WAYS
Dancing challenges you to push the boundaries of movement and use different muscles. It can be an effective therapy for some people with disabilities, improving balance, strength and coordination.

​

IMPROVE FITNESS
Dancing increases overall fitness. It’s a great workout for burning calories, building muscles and improving cardiovascular health.

​

MAKE FRIENDS
Taking a community dance class is a great way to meet new people and help overcome social anxiety.

​

BOOST SELF CONFIDENCE
By kicking up your heels, you’ll learn new skills, become more in tune with your body and feel healthier, all of which can build confidence.
