Why now is a good time to get your groove on

How to lift your mood through dancing

Dancing is not only a fantastic way to get the blood pumping, it’s fun and freeing and you usually end up with a big smile on your face while you’re at it.

Like any form of movement it can trigger a burst of those ‘feel good’ brain chemicals endorphins, but it comes with a side of extra benefits too.

If you’re remembering the steps to a specific dance you’re giving both your brain and your body a good workout.

And if you’re going with the flow, well that’s a chance to be creative and express yourself in whatever way feels right.

Dancing is not just for the clubs it’s for every where! Try these moments to have a quick boogie and see how good you feel:

  • In your chairs with your colleagues. No moves are too silly.

  • When you’re stopped at the lights, get those shoulders jumping.

  • Once you get home from work - shake off your cares from the day.

  • While you’re doing the housework. Those chores just got more enjoyable.

  • After that first sip of your morning coffee - start the day with a shimmy.

  • When you’ve got your headphones on and you’re out for a walk. Step it up with style.
