The Health Benefits of Dance

Shed a Few Pounds

Dancing can be a fun way to help you lose weight or just stay in shape. While dancing may not feel like exercise, it actually offers a total body workout that uses all of the major muscle groups. A single one hour class can burn up to 600 calories, and having fun while you’re at it may encourage you to push yourself farther. And if you choose to do additional exercise on top of your dance classes, you may find that you lose weight at a much faster and steadier rate.
