Ballroom and Social Dance
Why Ballroom Dance?
If you are like me and detest treadmills, weights, sweaty gyms, come see why people have no problem dancing 2-3 hours daily. Every medical organization recommends walking as a simple way to improve your health. Well, think of social dancing as “fast walking” only indoors, to great music and with friends. While we encourage any form of activity to stay young, doctors are seeing a rapid increase in injuries from falls and muscle strains in many popular sports such as pickleball, tennis, etc. Fortunately, social dancing works against the biggest problems of aging.
