The health related benefits of dance are well documented. Scientific research has established that 75% of the factors affecting quality of life and longevity are lifestyle related and only 25% are in fact hereditary. So it is clear that dance, along with other physical activities, has a vital role in ensuring a good quality of life for longer, given extended life expectancies. Research has positioned dance ahead of other physical activity in terms of the extent of its health-promoting benefits including:
- improving balance, minimising falls
- slowing down ageing (connected to calming the immune system)
- increasing cognitive ability (by promoting new synapse connection)
Likewise, the social benefits of dance – for all age groups – have also been well documented.
At Rain & Lucky, we are excited to announce that we will be offering Silver Swans® classes! Developed by the Royal Academy of Dance, this program is based on research into dance practice for older learners. Whether you’ve never danced before or want to get back into the swing of it, our Silver Swans® classes have something for everyone!
