Besides, it’s an excellent medium for social interaction. You get to meet new people at dance classes. It also makes you happier and improves your self-esteem. Also, it reduces chances of a sedentary lifestyle (which is a risk factor for hypertension and diabetes).

Any form of exercise is good. It need not be the ones we see on TV shows, it can be simple ones like aerobic exercise as well. Even a minimum of 30 minutes of dancing everyday is enough to attain the above mentioned benefits. And always remember that age is no barrier for dancing.
