Why Studios Accento is different!

“Dance, when you’re broken open. Dance, if you’ve torn the bandage off. Dance in the middle of the fighting. Dance in your blood. Dance when you’re perfectly free.” ― Rumi

Dance – the ultimate therapy in the whole world to cure almost anything. And even when all’s right in the world, sway your body to any music and your soul will automatically feel liberated. What started off as a socializing tool in the olden times to entertain crowds and for crowds to mingle with each other, is now a full-blown career option.

Top 10 health benefits of dance on both the body and mind

Top 10 health benefits of dance on both the body and mind

“When you dance, you can enjoy the luxury of being you.” – Paulo Coelho

Ain’t it true? When you dance, you enter a different zone where the only thing you can hear is the sound of your own heartbeat and your soul.

Dancing is simply not gyrating to music but providing your body its full deserved dose of nutrition that comes in the form of fitness – of the body physically as well as mentally.

There are many benefits that dance has on our body and mind:

1)  A great aerobic tool to get your heart fit: Since dancing involves use of breathing techniques and increasing heart rate, it is a fabulous way to get that aerobic workout going. Medical practitioners advise a moderate-intensity aerobic exercise for 150-300 minutes/week or a high-intensity one clocking atleast 75-150 minutes/week

2)  Improves posture – Great dancers have an enviable posture because the moves have to be fluid and ones that require precision. It greatly helps in getting rid of all back problems

3)  Right Balance – For young children, people with injuries, and older generation, dance helps with balance issues with the help of specifically designed dance postures

4)  Body toning – Walking, jogging, or even going to the gym won’t match results like those gained by dancing. Since, this art form has a step for every part of the body specially enforced by aerobic workout, results of disciplined dance routines can work wonders on your body

5)  Improved flexibility – With time, the joints of a human body tend to get weaker. This is where dance serves as a savior and gets the lubrication of joints going with the help of effective dance routines

6)  Better cognitive power – Not just physically, this great form of exercise can greatly boost your cognitive ability thanks to the need to remember steps and their correct sequencing. So, if you think you have started forgetting a lot lately, enroll in a dance class and you’ll see a tremendous boost to your memory

7)  Socialize – When you attend a group dance class, you get to interact with like-minded people. In fact, dancing used to be a social tool in the olden times to encourage interaction among people

8)  A great mood-lifter – Feeling low? Studies show that dancing – all by yourself or socially can help lift your mood instantly. Dancing releases hormones almost instantly as soon as your body sways to music

9)  Low risk of dementia – Because the mind needs to register dance steps and that too in a sequence, it makes the mind more alert thus lowering the risk of dementia and any other related ailment. In fact, dance therapy is widely advised for patients with such ailments to gain better control over their mind

10)   No ‘one-shoe-fits-all’ – One workout that has myriad aspects to it, be it in the types of dance or in the various means that one can access it, dancing has something for everyone. The best part of it? That you don’t need any expensive equipment, all you need is to put on some music and let your body do the talking!

Why the Studios Accento is so much more than dancing?

While you can simply sway your arms and swing your feet to enjoy your favorite music, a little more effort and time are definitely worth investing to learn a new dance form.

Why dancing is so good for your health!

Why dancing is so good for your health!

Ever wondered that a simple dance routine at a family get together would do wonders for your health? A century back, dancing would have been considered to be mere tool to socialize but today with the ever growing dancing styles and increasing awareness about its benefits, dancing has reached a new high!

From social dancing styles like Salsa, Jive, Waltz to the high-energy ones like Zumba, Hip-Hop, and Bollywood, there’s a dance form for everyone and for every mood. Besides, being mood-uplifting, there are many benefits that dancing has for our body and soul.

More strength and improved health

Dancing not only gets your sweat cells going but improves overall stamina of the body thus helping in endurance training. Unlike walking or running, dancing provides a complete cardio workout for the body. Since, it targets every muscle of your body, dancing is great for muscle toning and strengthening. Studies show that those who indulge in regular dance sessions are less prone to bone related illnesses like osteoporosis.

For those struggling to lose weight, high-intensity dance styles coupled with diet control can do wonders!

Memory Boosting

Learning the steps of a dance form and the correct sequencing helps boost memory, also because when you dance, your body is focusing on several brain functions at once – musical, emotional, and kinesthetic. Again, statistics have attributed to remembering dance steps to eliminating the risk and treating of Alzheimer’s disease.

Better Mental Health

When you sway to the rhythm of your favorite song, your mind is taken off all worries thus helping improve your state of mind and consequently, your overall mental health. Therapists all over the world prescribe dance therapy to people suffering from chronic depression and anxiety so that they socialize more.

Confidence building

Social dancing styles not only get the party going but also help in building and boosting the confidence level of an individual. It is the most easy and proven way to meet and socialize with new people. Co-attending dance classes also helps in better bonding and improving the overall social skills.

Better Balance and Co-ordination

In ageing population, one of the most commonly found risks is that of falling due to imbalance due to old age. There are dancing techniques designed to better the body awareness and balancing. Not just for the ageing ones, these techniques have also proven to be effective for athletes and injury-stricken people.

No age to learn

Is there a reason or an age to learn dance? No! Since, there exists a dance form for every body type, you can learn to groove at any age. All you need is a music genre that you feel like swaying to and determination to learn a new hobby.

No sophisticated or expensive setup required

Unlike other hobbies, dancing doesn’t require you to buy a new equipment or do an elaborate setup. A few square feet of space around for you to move across, some soulful music that you can relate to, and willingness to let your body do the rest, is all you need!
