Episode Details

This episode goes into ALL the reasons why I think dance is one of the best forms of exercise you can possibly do.

Dance is all encompassing.

Your body is working with gravity, you’re using spatial awareness, balance, agility, coordination, weight transfers, reaction and timing. Your brain is processing SO much information while your body is trying to actually execute it. You’re training endurance, but you’re also invested in the song, the choreography and what you’re trying to express.

And then there’s this whole other part of dance that you don’t necessarily get from a workout.

You get to express anger, sexiness, joy, power, emotion. You learn things about yourself. You find your weaknesses. You work through them. You’re practicing confidence throughout the entire process, not only waiting to feel confident once you get a certain result or your body looks a certain way.

It takes confidence to even LOOK at yourself in the mirror and work with the reflection you see.

Then there’s the social part. You’re meeting people. You’re laughing together, learning together, being vulnerable together and building relationships with people through dance.

And maybe one of the biggest differences is that you actually WANT to do it.

There’s a difference between saying, “I have to go work out,” and wanting to go to dance. You show up differently when you’re there because you want to receive something from the experience instead of showing up to check something off a list.

It’s not three sets of this, three sets of that and okay, workout done.

You’re exercising. You’re learning. You’re thinking. You’re feeling. You’re connecting. You’re creating.

Dance is the BEST
