Hello! Thank you for your link to Boogie to a Better Brain, which led me to visit
the Journal of Sports Science and Medicine. I also found another article which
describes how dance is wonderful for our bodies
“THE EFFECT OF CHINESE YUANJI-DANCE ON DYNAMIC BALANCE
AND THE ASSOCIATED ATTENTIONAL DEMANDS IN ELDERLY ADULTS”
http://www.jssm.org/vol9/n1/17/v9n1-17abst.php
The study shows that “Chinese Yuanji-Dance practice for elderly adults may improve their personal safety when walking especially under the condition of multiple task demand.”
Are there similar studies about how social dancing improves cognitive and perceptual skills as well as how it improves balance?
Thank you!
