As a form of physical exercise, dancing is second to none. It is the ultimate physical, mental, and emotional workout – period.
Thru’ dance one can express joy and happiness, as well as vent anger and frustration.
Dance like no one is watching, is a cliché we would do well to heed, especially in these unsettling times. Nothing de-stresses like a good, sweaty, session of dancing, regardless of costume, accessories or – talent!
Your kitchen floor is as good a stage as any – Just let your spirit soar as it responds to music.
So what are you waiting for? Come – let’s dance 🙂
