Turns out dancing is really good for health. Recently Harvard’s Health Newsletter reported that dancing has all the same benefits as other forms of cardio exercise including lowering blood pressure, building muscle and bone, increasing aerobic capacity, and improving the ratio of “good” to “bad” cholesterol. In addition, dancing can reduce anxiety and help alleviate depression.
And that’s not all. Studies also indicate that mastering dance movements can help boost memory and increase problem-solving skills. Also dancing gives us a sense of social connection that helps alleviate loneliness and isolation. Somewhere along the line, many of us lose the sense of delight that dancing evokes. We become self-conscious and inhibited, forgetting that this centuries-old physical expression is hardwired into our brains and bodies.

Today we picked Geri Halliwell dancing up a storm to the tune “It’s Raining Men.” There’s a lot of versions of this song. One of the best is the original one performed by the “Weather Girls” who made the song famous. Click HERE to check out the Weather Girls.
So every week YourCanna-Club will host a new dance party and we want you to come. If you have a great dance tune you want to recommend email it to info@yourcanna-club.com and we’ll get it on the list. Time to get it going with Geri.
