Find Your Inner Child in Dance!

Find Your Inner Child in Dance!

From the moment we can walk, we dance!  Music and dancing make people feel good!  When babies start crying, what do we, as adults, do?  We swaddle, sway, swing . . . and DANCE!  Who doesn't enjoy watching a child relish in the joys of dance? Who doesn't remember singing Pat-a-Cake? Who doesn't remember dancing to Ring Around the Rosy?  What young girl doesn't pretend to be Cinderella as she dances with the Prince? 

Why is it, as we grow older, that we are afraid to dance?  In kindergarten classes across the world, students think that they draw with the skill of Van Gogh, run as fast as Usain Bolt, and dance as well as Beyoncé Knowles.  What happened to our confidence? Why should we let the stresses of being a "grown up" take that feeling away from us?

Let Quick, Quick, Slow Ballroom Dance Studio help you once again experience the joy of childhood through our online ballroom dance lessons.  Whether preparing for an upcoming special occasion or simply working to improve your emotional well-being, our dance instructors are effective in helping dancers of all levels find their fearless, inner child within.  

Here's how:

  • WebMD states that ballroom dancing not only benefits the body by burning calories and toning muscles, it also helps our brain by increasing blood flow.  (And who wouldn't want to be able to remember why we walked into the kitchen?)

  • Feeling Blue?  Ballroom dancing can help improve mood through movement.  Dr. Hanna Poikonen, neuroscientist at the University of Helsinki, confirms that partner dancing can help reduce fear, pain, and anxiety.  The British Journal of Psychology, through a randomized, control trial, confirms that music is a "valuable enhancement" in the treatment of depression.

With all of these benefits, what are you waiting for?  Contact us to schedule a lesson today.  Forget the pressures of everyday living, if just for a little while, and feel like a child again!  We look forward to hearing from you!
