Dancing is an art that unites people from all walks of life, and that’s why dance and music are commonly referred to as the universal language. This art not only complements music but also expresses emotions. Other than having fun, dancing can improve your physical and mental health. According to researchers from Colorado State University, dancing improves cognitive functions and slows down memory loss in older adults.

Be sure to get your dancing shoes ready and think of yourself as the greatest dancer ever!
