\"\"<\/a><\/span>We\u2019re still staying at home, but that doesn\u2019t mean we should be sitting still! Now more than ever, it\u2019s important to keep your body moving for optimal wellness. At home dance lessons are a great outlet for this! Our at home dance workouts give you a fun workout while teaching you the fundamentals to dance. Here\u2019s four reasons to give online dance workout classes a try:<\/span><\/p>\n

Whole-body workout<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Dance is fast paced, so you’ll get plenty of heart healthy cardiovascular exercise. Just a quick 30-minute dance class burns an average of 200 calories, about the same as jogging but much more fun! Dance also strengthens core muscle groups such as legs and abdomen. It improves coordination, balance, and posture.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Learn new moves<\/b><\/h3>\n

Big events and weddings will one day resume, we hope sooner rather than later! When they do, you\u2019ll have the fundamentals down to get on the dance floor like a pro. We teach you the steps to make dancing comfortable and fun, and you\u2019ll learn in the privacy of your own home.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Improve mood<\/b><\/h3>\n

Dance improves mood by lowering stress and reducing anxiety. Dancing causes the <\/span>release of dopamine, oxytocin, serotonin, and endorphins, all of which play a vital role in keeping you happy and healthy. This has been a tough year for many of us, and dance is a great outlet to keep happiness flowing in the midst of uncertain times.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Build Connection<\/b><\/h3>\n

Dancing at home with your partner, roommate, or children is a great way to bond. There\u2019s plenty of evidence to show that dancing with others helps you feel a sense of connectedness, and in a time of so much isolation, this connectedness is crucial. Here at Fred Astaire Dance Studios of Middletown, we offer both individual and partner virtual dance classes and love bringing dance workouts to the CT community.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
