      Dancing has a number of health benefits and starting with balance exercises is a safe way to engage in exciting dances. Please see    http://www.exerciseforbalance.com/buy-now Take Zumba dancing for instance. Research is increasingly clear that dancing provides wonderful cardiovascular and musculoskeletal benefits. Also, medical researchers have shown that dancing makes you happier! The endorphin elevation from exercise, social interaction and necessary concentration can lift your spirits during each dance session. In general, dancing stimulates part of the brain called the hippocampus, this is the center of the brain where regulation of mood and storage of memories occur. With dancing, new nerve growth occurs in the hippocampus as well as a lowering of the levels of stress hormones in the brain. With Zumba in particular, there can be a combination of complicated footwork, arm and hip movements. Consequently, it is recommended that before embarking on an adventure in Zumba dancing, you practice some basic balance exercises to establish a strong foundation of stability to build your dance platform on.

 Balance Exercises For Dance Classes

       To be safe with a Zumba dance program, it is essential to develop adequate steadiness first through rehearsing certain  balance exercises. You can start with basic equilibrium routines like standing on one foot and controlling your body weight shifting. You can progress to holding a static steady position on one foot while you move the other foot in a sequence of forward, backward and side to side movements. Combining static and dynamic balance abilities will prepare you for more difficult dance maneuvers in Zumba. You can further challenge your balance skills by performing the static and dynamic movements to a specific rhythm. To get started on a life giving Zumba dance routine, first follow along with the balance exercises presented by an knowledgeable Physical Therapist in the Exercise For Balance DVD.
