Stressed?

Feeling overwhelmed? Dance away that stress! Ballroom dancing is a wonderful way to reduce stress and escape the troubles that you may be experiencing! Why? Ballroom dancing demands your attention so you won’t be worrying about paying the kids college tuition, or that new project at work! Not only will you be learning a new skill, you will be having a ton of fun!

Dancing as a means to reduce stress:
  • Due to the fact  that ballroom dancing is a physical activity, it can reduce tension in your muscles and boost those “feel-good” endorphins.
  • Ballroom dancing can be used as an outlet to convey your emotions or feelings! Angry? Add a little more passion and zest to that Tango basic!
  • When you are dancing you are listening to music, which can also be a wonderful tool to reduce stress! When you listen to music it changes your state of mind and you tend to forget about what is troubling you; you become immersed by the sounds of the music!
  • Ballroom dancing is a social activity that allows you to be surrounded by other people who are having fun! It’s nearly impossible to be upset when everyone around you is having fun and smiling!
