Research shows that a 150-pound adult can actually burn approximately 150 calories doing 30 minutes of social dancing.

More importantly, some forms of dancing can actually increase your brain power and help improve memory skills.

According to the New England Journal of Medicine it can even ward off Alzheimer’s disease and other dementia.

The 21-year study of senior citizens was led by the Albert Einstein College of Medicine in New York City, funded by the National Institute on Aging.

Reading – 35% reduced risk of dementia 
Cycling and swimming
– 0%
Doing crossword puzzles at least four days a week – 47%
Playing golf – 0%
Dancing frequently – 76%.

Dancing gave the greatest risk reduction of any activity studied, cognitive or physical.

Dancers have been found to be more resistant to the effects of dementia.

This reasoning was suggested by Neurologist Dr. Robert Katzman, since dancing helps develop greater cognitive reserve and increased complexity of neuronal synapses.

Like education, participation in mentally engaging activities such as dancing lowers the risk of dementia by improving these neural qualities.

The Best Forms Of Dancing For Improving Mental Capabilities

The best kinds of dance for improving mental capabilities are those that do not rely on merely retracing the same memorized steps. Making as many split-second decisions as possible, is the key to maintaining cognitive abilities.

Freestyle social dancing and Latin dance fits this description best. Some examples include foxtrot, waltz, swing, and maybe some rumba and cha cha.

These stimulate the connectivity of your brain by generating the need for new pathways.

Dancing integrates several brain functions at once — kinesthetic, rational, musical, and emotional — further increasing your neural connectivity.

Dancing At Parties And In Groups Also Encourages Social Bonding.

Many researchers have argued that people experience a blurring of the self into their groups while dancing.

It is also possible that dancing releases endorphins and these molecules are behind the social bonding effect.

University of Oxford psychologist (and dancer) Bronwyn Tarr asked teenagers to dance to fast, electronic music in groups of 3.

Participants said they felt closer to their dance partners than to others in their classes after dancing.

Mirroring others in dance helps to foster friendships.
