Team Dance Reporting In with Belly Dancing!
According to an article in the New England Journal of Medicine, a recent research study in 2003 found that dancing was the only physical activity associated with a lower risk of dementia. Currently, St. Leonard has five dance programs with two in the developmental stages. We currently offer belly dancing, Zumba, line dancing, Chair Zumba, ballroom dancing, and the two in the planning stage are clogging and an open dance club, such as a 50/50 dance. The physical benefits of the dance are amazing with each participant; we can see and feel the benefits in their strength and endurance and balance. However, dance offers another component of wellness that has a huge impact on our fun and function level and that is socialization, as it brings people together the common goals of being with others and having fun.
