It’s official – dancing really is the best medicine
It’s official – dancing really is the best medicine, with adults claiming it makes them feel happier and less stressed.
A study found eight in 10 feel a boogie boosts their mood, with three quarters feeling ‘happy’ after shimmying around their home. For seven in 10, dancing helps to relieve their stress after just a few minutes. And almost half went as far as to say they feel their mental health is better as a result of the activity. The study, commissioned by Zumba, found 67 per cent wished they could dance more often, although 41 per cent admitted they were ‘quite bad’ or ‘appalling’ at it. 69 per cent who enjoy dancing average two hours and 15 minutes of the activity every month.
More than a quarter (28 per cent) said dancing has provided them with great memories and 23 per cent said it helps connect them with friends.
We love to dance at our house too!
Thanks,
KC
