Dance for Your Mental Health
Freely moving your body to music can bring you healing, community, and tension relief.
Exercise has long been promoted for its positive influence on mental health. It’s been shown to improve depression and anxiety symptoms, enhance overall mood, and boost sleep quality — the latter of which has a positive influence on physical and mental well-being.
And a sweeping review published this February found that one type of physical activity may be particularly beneficial: dance. The meta-analysis of 218 studies, published in BMJ, showed that dance appears to be a promising treatment for depression, with larger effects than other movement methods such as walking, jogging, yoga, and strength training.
