Burn Fat \/ Lose Weight \/ Increase Metabolism.
<\/strong>Ballroom 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 \u2013 that\u2019s roughly the same amount as running or cycling! Burning an extra 300 calories a day can help you lose between \u00bd-1 pound a week (and THAT can add up quickly). In fact, a study in the Journal of Physiological Anthropology found that dance as exercise is just as effective for weight loss as cycling and jogging. Dance training is also an excellent form of maintenance exercise, to stay healthy and toned once you\u2019ve reached your goal weight. And since ballroom dance is so much fun, you\u2019re getting these benefits without feeling like you\u2019re working out!<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t

Increase Flexibility.<\/strong>
A reputable ballroom dance class will typically begin with a few stretching exercises, to get you prepped to execute dance steps with comfort & ease, and to protect against dance-related injury. Beginner dancers especially will notice that the more you dance, the more flexibility and range of motion your body develops. Increased flexibility will help your dance abilities, decrease joint pain and muscle soreness after exercise, and improve core strength and balance. Yoga and ballet stretches can be extremely beneficial as pre-ballroom dance warm-ups, but be sure to talk with your Fred Astaire Dance Studios instructor about a recommended warm-up regimen.<\/p>

Increase Muscle Strength & Endurance.<\/strong>
Ballroom dancing contributes to the build-up of muscle strength because the act of dancing forces a dancer\u2019s muscles to resist against their own body weight. The use of quick steps, lifts, twists and turns, will help you develop more muscle strength in your arms, legs and core as your lessons continue. Endurance (in this context) is the capability of your muscles to work harder and longer without succumbing to fatigue. Ballroom dancing as exercise is particularly effective at building up your endurance \u2013 so as you work on your dance steps, you are conditioning your muscles to perform these feats with less and less fatigue. And the added benefit is that you\u2019ll look and feel strong, toned and sexy<\/p>

Great for All Ages.<\/strong>
Ballroom dance is a fun activity for everyone \u2013 from children to senior citizens, which is another reason it\u2019s such an effective form of exercise. At Fred Astaire Dance Studios, we work with students of all age groups, physical abilities and skill levels \u2013 and will create a custom dance program that\u2019s comfortable yet challenging, and will help you attain your dance AND exercise goals.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t
