Add variety to your fitness routine by joining a dance group exercise class. Dance is a great option to burn calories, relieve stress and improve your mood. Here are more reasons why you should try a dance class today.

• Get your heart pumping: The continuous movement from dance increases cardiovascular endurance. It elevates your breathing and heart rate which helps to lower blood pressure.
• Improve your strength and balance: Dance typically involves all planes of motion. This varied movement helps to strengthen your muscles and improve balance as you shift positions.
• Boost your brain power: Learning and memorizing choreography is not only exercise for your body but also your mind. Keep your brain sharp as you master a sequence of moves from your instructors.
• Fun and Flexibility: Dance doesn’t feel like exercise. You can get the entire family involved in a dance routine anytime and anywhere. Whether you’re in the gym, at home or using the center mobile app – dancing is an accessible form of exercise for all ages and fitness levels.
