DID YOU KNOW? |
 |
Fred Astaire had a great
golf swing. All great golfers and |
|
dancers have impeccable timing, balance and coordination. |
| |
|
|
|
Fred Astaire’s original name
was Frederic Austerlitz. Funny huh? |
| |
|
|
|
Ballroom dancing reduces the
risk of Dementia. The Einstein |
|
aging study showed that participants who ballroom danced |
| |
two to three times a week reduced their risk of Dementia |
| |
by 76 percent. Keep your mind sharp. |
| |
|
|
|
Studies by the American
Heart Association showed that the |
|
amount of oxygen their lungs pumped into the
bloodstream |
|
rose by 18 percent in cardiac patients who ballroom danced. |
| |
|
|
|
Dancing reduces stress
levels and decreases levels of |
|
depression. Ballroom dancing also reduces
cortisol, a hormone |
| |
associated with stress. Dancing releases endorphins which
|
| |
affects your mood and lifts your spirits. |
| |
|
|
|
Dancing with a partner has
more positive affects than |
|
dancing alone. |
| |
|
|
|
Couples that sway together,
stay together. |
| |
|
|
|
Get the look of confidence!
Dance encourages good posture and |
| |
body alignment, and will strengthen your
body’s core |
| |
abdominal muscles. |
| |
|
|
|
You’ll burn calories without
even realizing. Recent |
|
studies have shown that Waltzing three times per week is
|
| |
better than the same amount of time on a treadmill or |
| |
exercise bike. |
| |
|
|
|
Dancing is a great social
activity. You’ll spend your |
|
evenings on the dance floor instead of alone in
front of the TV. |
| |
|
|
|
It’s never too late to put
your dancing shoes on. You can |
|
discover a new passion and joy in your life at
any age. |
| |
|
|
|
Ballroom dancing will make
you stronger, happier, healthier, |
|
and smarter. It will bring you joy. |
