Share the benefits of dancing with your dancers and their families.
EMOTIONAL BENEFITS "Dancers communicate and express feelings through movement. The emotional and mental-health benefits of regular dancing include increased self-esteem and body image; reduced anxiety, depression, and stress. Dancing can improve mood by helping those who dance feel good through the release of endorphins in the brain. Dancing cultivates intrapersonal knowledge and self-confidence. Some dancers find it is a constructive way to channel their emotions." (Andrea Downie, 2015) Learn more about the emotional benefits of dancing in the Healthy Dancer Canada resource, Providing Support to Dancers, by Andrea Downie.

It's cool that you point out that dancing can help lower your stress levels. I've been really stressed out lately due to school, so I'm thinking about enrolling in a dance class. I'm going to look for a good provider of dance classes in the area that I can use.
