Dancing enhances your life in so many ways:
Fun
Although your commitment to learn to dance will
demand concentration, dedication, and time, you
will be constantly surrounded by artistic, supportive,
and friendly people who will make your instruction
at Fred Astaire Dance Studios a most pleasurable,
comfortable, and rewarding experience.
Friendship
Beyond instruction, dance opens a wide spectrum
of social settings in which friendships are forged
and dreams come true. Scheduled Fred Astaire Dance
Studio practice dance parties; local, regional,
and national competitions; and fun nights out
on the town provide dance students with a full
social calendar.
Confidence
Dancers possess an aura of self-confidence and
an ability to enjoy themselves more in public
settings. Their entire mental outlook takes
on a renewed sense of creativity, motivation,
and energy.
Creativity
Dancing provides an emotionally expressive outlet
in which a person can truly reflect his or her
feelings through body movement. Everyone has
the potential to learn how to dance. Effective
and supportive dance instruction is crucial
for everyone to realize their full dance potential.
Once you have mastered the dance patterns and
steps, you're on your own in expressing yourself
with passion, flair, and style.
Health
Dancing helps the body's circulatory system
as it makes your heart pump blood faster and
improve cardiovascular health. Dancing encourages
weight control and overall physical fitness
by burning-off calories. The constant movement
and muscle extension during dance session also
provides a pleasing, mild exercise most people
long for but rarely achieve, especially in such
pleasant circumstances. With increased physical
movement and cardiovascular circulation, the
body produces neurological chemicals, such as
endorphins and natural dopamine, to heighten
emotional contentment and produce an overall
“good feeling.” In other words, a dance or two
a day keeps the doctor away…
