Ballroom Dance Helps Prevent Depression & Boosts Your Mood 🌅

Benefit of Dance: Mental Health

Did you know that DANCE is the single most effective treatment for depression? A recent meta study found that dance was more effective than therapy, antidepressant drugs, or other forms of exercise such as yoga, tai chi, strength conditioning or running. It's truly amazing how powerful dance is!

Here's the top five ways ballroom dance improves your mental health:

1. Increases neurotransmitter activity in the brain and releases happiness hormones:  serotonin, dopamine, oxytocin, and endorphins
2. Improves self-esteem
3. Enhances mindfulness
4. Promotes social bonding
5. Assists with trauma recovery

Moving our bodies, enjoying music, and connecting with others is very healing. Research is now showing what dancers have always known - dancing lifts our spirits and improves our lives in powerful ways.

Whether you're looking for a simple way to boost your mood or want a natural way to treat depression - when in doubt - dance it out 💞
