Cardiovascular Conditioning - Regular exercise can lead to a slower heart rate, lower blood pressure and improved cholesterol profile. Experts typically recommend 30 - 40 minutes of continuous activity three or four times a week. Dancing may not provide all the conditioning you need, but it can help. The degree of cardiovascular conditioning depends on how vigorously you dance, how long you dance continuously, and how regularly you do it. Rehabilitation - If you re recovering from heart or knee surgery, movement may be part of your rehabilitation.
Dancing is a positive alternative to aerobic dancing or jogging.
It gives you an opportunity to develop strong social ties which contribute to self-esteem and a positive outlook. Tomorrow night when you consider settling down for a little television, turn on the music instead.
