/in /by

dancing lessons mesa azYou will find that when you ask people what do they like so much about Ballroom dancing, they will reply that it lifts their spirits. In one particular case in San Diego with student Beverly Weurding, she stated that dancing had renewed her spirit. However, this was not your ordinary situation. Beverly was previously diagnosed with limb-girdle muscular dystrophy (LGMD) and was told that she would not be able to walk, climb, dance, or play sports. She would experience extreme muscle wasting and pain, which would lead to the use of a wheelchair.

After years of being unhappy, Beverly thought she might be able to “experience the joy of dancing while in a wheelchair.” After a lot of searching on her part to find a dance instructor who was willing to work with her, she learned some of the amazing health benefits that came with Ballroom dancing. Even for her, she experienced what many of you can, this includes better balance, muscle strength, flexibility, range of motion, increased coordination, and positive emotional and psychological effects.

Beverly is an inspiration to many people and has helped other challenged people see how wheelchair dancing can benefit them. So why don’t you let Ballroom dancing help rejuvenate your spirit too with reduced stress, increased energy, better muscle tone, improved coordination, and more flexibility. There are so many wonderful and positive benefits to Ballroom dancing. Feel free to go and take a couple classes to see for yourself.

Rehabilitation, One Step at a Time

/in /by

ballroom dancing mesa azDid you know that Ballroom dancing could help you with rehabilitation? If you or someone you know has recently had surgery, specifically heart, knee, or one that requires movement for rehabilitation, you can use Ballroom dancing as an alternative to other forms of exercise to strengthen your muscles.

With knee surgery, after the initial phase of physical therapy right after surgery, the physical therapist will likely instruct you on stretching and strengthening your muscles around the knee. Ballroom dancing can help with both stretching and strengthening of your muscles while being low-impact on your joints as well. On The Knee Society’s website, they even recommend Ballroom dancing as a suitable activity.

At Flagstaff Medical Center, they use monthly Ballroom dance classes as part of their Cardiac Rehabilitation program. Heart patients get a great support network along with some aerobic activity to help improve their balance, stamina, and mental acuity. Another reason why Ballroom dancing is good for cardiac rehabilitation comes from the National Heart, Lung and Blood Institute. According to them, dancing can lower your risk of coronary heart disease and decrease blood pressure.

So if you are looking for a fun way to get your body back after rehabilitation, you should try Ballroom dancing! It is not as monotonous as walking or some other exercises may be, so you may enjoy yourself. After all don’t we deserve something to enjoy in life? Although this method may work for others, it may not be right for your condition and recovery. Please check with your doctor before doing anything that may re-injure your body.

If you are able and allowed to use Ballroom dancing as a form of rehabilitation, and you live in the East Valley, visit Dance FX Studios in Mesa, Arizona. Dance FX Studios offers private Ballroom dancing lessons that let you move at your pace. Try our Introductory Offer for private classes.

Boundless Benefits of Ballroom Dancing

/in /by

Ballroom dancing East Valley AZAre you completely tired of going to the gym and want to find a new way to burn off those calories, but have fun at the same time? Why don’t you try ballroom dancing? Not only can ballroom dancing improve your physical health, but it can also rejuvenate your mind as well.

Some of the benefits of ballroom dancing can help you physically by strengthening your bones and muscles, toning your body, improving posture and balance, increasing stamina and flexibility, reducing stress and tension, building confidence, and warding off certain illnesses.

If you have seen Dancing with the Stars, then you know that most of the dancers are often winded after their performances. That is probably because their heart rate was raised from dancing, essentially giving them a good workout. In addition, since it is a weight baring activity, you can strengthen your bones and muscles while dancing.

You may not believe it, but the brainpower it takes to remember the different dance steps and sequences also helps to improve your memory. In fact, in a study done with Alzheimer’s patients, some were able to recall forgotten memories when they danced to music they once knew.

In another study, more specifically a 21-year study of senior citizens, done by the Albert Einstein College of Medicine, they studied the affect of cognitive activities on their ability to ward off Alzheimer’s disease and other dementia. Almost none of the activities gave any significant protection against dementia, with the exception of dancing frequently. Dancing proved to be the greatest risk reduction at 76% reduced risk. The study began in 1980 so it can be concluded that the type of dancing studied was freestyle social dancing.

Other forms of dancing also give you physical and mental benefits, but since ballroom dancing is a social activity it helps build strong social ties and encourages socializing. Both give people a higher self-esteem and a positive outlook. Having that overall sense of well-being is possibly the best, sole reason to start your ballroom dancing lessons today.
