THREE HEALTH
BENEFITS OF
DANCING
Shreenivas Shah
Introduction
 Since 1998, Shreenivas Shah has served as the president and CEO
of BabyVision, Inc. In his first year with the business, he oversaw
the acquisition of an unprofitable business previously owned by
Hasbro, ultimately turning around the business and making it
profitable in under a year. Outside of his career, Shreenivas Shah
enjoys dancing.
Though dancing can prove entertaining, it also can be greatly
beneficial to your health. Whether you are a seasoned Salsa pro, or
you are just getting started with dancing, these are three of the
health benefits you can look forward to if you take up dancing as a
hobby.
1. Fat Burning - Dancing provides an ideal way to burn fat while
having fun. The fast, repetitive movements work your body like a
good cardio routine, improving your stamina and burning calories.
Depending on the dance’s speed and intensity, it burns anywhere
from 5 calories to 10 calories per minute. For context, running burns
around 11 calories per minute, according to Runners World.
Dancing
 2. More Flexibility - The high kicks and fancy footwork
required for many dances help improve your flexibility.
Greater flexibility helps you avoid a wide range of muscle
injuries while also improving your overall athletic
performance. Most dance classes incorporate stretching into
the warm-up routine, providing even more opportunity to keep
your muscles limber and flexible.
3. Better Posture - A good dancer has confidence, and few
things physically convey confidence like excellent posture.
Though your job may have you sitting hunched over a screen
all day at your desk, dancing provides an ideal way to
counteract that bad posture. Improving your posture can help
strengthen your shoulders and back, reducing your risk for
back pain, and even stress.
