when life gets too busy
through movement and dance
& learning to play
Dancing improves strength, flexibility, and cardiovascular strength. Dance increases energy and serotonin. Dance improves mood and reduces depression. Dance exercises our mind and provides opportunity for quick decision making. So I know life is busy, but we should always make time to dance!
Dance is a powerful art form that can communicate ideas that speech does not have the capacity to express. Even the simplest of movements can express deep emotion, portray certain personality traits or engage audiences in profound thought. Movement is powerful.
When we include seeing, feeling, touching, tasting, and hearing into our learning experiences, our brain is able to grasp onto new concepts faster and remember them longer. If we add our proprioceptive sense (body awareness) into the mix, the learning possibilities are heightened even further.
