3. Increased Confidence
Being able to stand on a stage and perform before an audience takes confidence. Dancers are physically confident individuals because it takes skill to move, jump, leap and twirl in front of an audience all while making it look easy. Also dance forces you to become present and release the worries and stress of of life, if only for a moment. The ability to be present, increase self esteem, therefore increasing confidence.
4. Improves Memory & Intelligence
Learning anything new forces your brain to work in positive ways. Learning and remembering choreography to a dance routine is an effective way to force your brain to learn how to decide how to move and how to react to those around you.
5. Improved Posture
People with good posture naturally look taller and more confident. They also breathe deeper, use more muscles and can burn more calories. Posture is a small thing that has major impact. Dance naturally helps improve a person's posture and conveys confidence and self assurance. That is why most people can identity dancers simply by the way they stand or sit.
