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.

I do find it great that this post explained that one of the benefits of dancing is that it helps unleash emotional stress. My sister mentioned that her kids have been feeling depressed. Maybe I can suggest to her to take up dancing as a form of expression. 7/29/2021 07:23:45 pm
I do appreciate that this post explained that dance is excellent for children as they can help our children learn how to regulate their emotions. My wife mentioned that she is planning to send our kids dancing. I will definitely keep this information in mind and look for a qualified school. I love that you pointed out that dancing can release endorphins in the brain that can make our mood better. I would like my kids to have good moods every time and even have a positive outlook every time. So it would be beneficial for them to undergo dance classes, especially during these times that there is a pandemic or natural disasters that can affect us emotionally and mentally without knowing.
