Why is it important?
Dancing is more than just fun – it has social, physical, and cognitive benefits!
Social Benefits
increases self-awareness
encourages social interaction
reduces depression, agitation, anxiety
allows for expression, communication
Physical Benefits
improves cardiovascular health
improves muscle and bone strength
promotes balance and flexibility
maintains independence
Cognitive Benefits
Dancing integrates several brain functions at once —
kinesthetic, rational, musical, and emotional — further increasing your
neural connectivity, making one more resilient to the effects of
dementia in the brain.
Dancing at IMCC
Since we know dancing is so good for us, we dance in
the Adult Day Health Center almost every day! Garrey, our dance
instructor, comes twice a month to teach us some new steps, and lead us
in familiar dances. We also incorporate dancing into our music and music
therapy programming, exercise programs, and sometimes just for fun!
