Why dancing is so valuable in old age
Dancing not only energises the body, but also the heart. Whether alone or as a couple, senior dance strengthens, connects and gives you a new zest for life. Those who dance in old age not only train their muscles and balance, but also their memory, responsiveness and emotional well-being. But perhaps the greatest value lies in the interpersonal aspect: Dancing brings people together - regardless of age, background or physical condition - and creates community, closeness and laughter.
