Excerpts from the AARP Bulletin/Real Possibilities by Margery D. Rosen who is a freelance writer specializing in health and psychology.
"Dancing is fun and something most people can do. Besides giving you a great cardio boost, dance strengthen the bones, works all the major muscle groups, builds stamina and improves balance, coordination and flexibility. Also, if you learn new steps and dance with a partner, you banish loneliness and ramp up brain power by combining two other key elements of brain health: learning new things and socializing. Feeling rusty? Check out the dance classes offered at your YMCA or senior center (or at the Palladium); you may be surprised at the variety. Learning new moves, or refreshing old ones, challenges your brain and builds new connections".
WOW! Dat's some strong Rx Dance. Being in da 50s/60s/70s and even 80s diamond jubilee age is not old to be fierce as a tiger on the dance floor.
If you can walk, you can dance, too!
