When you exercise, the levels of chemicals in your brain that encourage nerve cells to grow is increased and since dancing requires you to remember various steps and sequences, your brain power is boosted which helps to improve your memory. Dancing incorporates several brain functions at once- kinesthetic, rational, musical, and emotional. Utilizing all of these at the same time can further increase your neural activity, helping to reduce the risk of Alzheimer’s disease and dementia.
Disclaimer: As a professional dancer, you need to prioritize discipline and consistency in your training. Do take care of your body through proper warm-ups, stretching, and conditioning, because longevity in dance depends on maintaining strength and preventing injuries. Do stay versatile by exploring different styles, since adaptability opens more opportunities and keeps your artistry fresh.
