The Science of Dance
Scientific research has shown that dancers have better balance, proprioception, and overall coordination compared to non-dancers. Ballet training can improve athletes' flexibility, while dance-based exercise programs can improve cardiovascular fitness, muscular strength, and endurance. And dancers have been shown to have better reaction times and processing speeds than non-dancers.1
