Dancing is good for our relationships - including our relationship with ourselves. 2. When we dance, it changes the way we think, and it changes the way we see the world. 3. Dancing is a great way to release pent up emotions, and it improves our mood too. 4. The physical benefits of dancing extend across the body, from our head to our toes, and deep within our body, stimulating our brain, muscles and hormones.
