Duesbury Aldred Dance Centre

Dancing is great exercise, good fun and a way of meeting like-minded people. If you’ve never taken a step before, think you have two left feet or simply want to have a go, then you are in the right place. Dancing is an enjoyable and social activity which can be a great way to meet people. It’s also good exercise for both the body and mind. Depending how regularly you take classes or lessons, dance can vary from a gentle exercise to a full body workout. What’s more, it’s good for developing balance, poise, spatial awareness, muscle tone and flexibility. Studies have proven that dance stimulates the release of endorphins within the body which are the body’s ‘happy pills’. Other studies have shown that by providing mental stimulation along with the mind and body co-ordination required, learning to dance can help in the prevention of Alzheimer's disease.
