DID YOU KNOW? Dancing is an effective way to reduce stress and improve one’s mood. This is because it triggers the release of several important chemicals in the body that promote feelings of happiness and well-being. For instance, serotonin is known to prevent depression, anxiety, and insomnia.
Dopamine is produced during pleasurable moments, while oxytocin is released when we bond with others. Additionally, dancing also stimulates the production of endorphins, which are hormones that help the nervous system cope with physical and emotional pain. So, the next time you’re feeling stressed or have had a long day at work, consider getting up and dancing to experience a quick mood boost!

Spotlight on Hip Hop! Hip hop, born in the United States in the 1970s, is more than just a dance style. Its dynamic and energetic movements serve as a great aerobic activity that enhances overall fitness and cardiovascular well-being. The captivating rhythm and beats of the accompanying music make the experience both catchy and enjoyable.
By partaking in this dance form, you will develop a mastery of intricate footwork and body isolations, enhancing your coordination and balance. The dance classes we offer go far beyond the physical benefits. They foster a vibrant social environment where you can connect with others who share your passion for dancing.
Lose weight while having fun! Dancing is a low-impact aerobic activity that burns fat and can boost your metabolism. In just thirty minutes of dance, you can burn between 200-400 calories – that’s roughly the same amount as running or cycling! Burning an extra 300 calories a day can help you lose between ½-1 pound a week (and THAT can add up quickly).
