But elite-level dance is not only physically demanding

THE ART OF DANCING

Dancing improves brain function
on a variety of levels. Two recent studies show how different types of practice allow dancers to achieve peak performance by blending cerebral and cognitive thought processes with muscle memory in the cerebellum. Through regular aerobic training that incorporates some type of dance at least once a week anyone can maximize his or her brain function.When was the last time you went out dancing? Some of my friends make fun of me for dancing out for them but they always smile and feel so good when i dance and sometime acting like a fool on the dance floor. I don’t care. I know that dancing and spontaneously trying to spin is good for my brain.

Expert ballet dancers seem to glide effortlessly across the stage, but learning the steps is both physically and mentally demanding. New research suggests that dance marking—loosely practicing a routine by "going through the motions"—may improve the quality of dance performance by reducing the mental strain needed to perfect the movements. "It is widely assumed that the purpose of marking dancing is to conserve energy," explains Warburton, professor of dance at the University of California, Santa Cruz. "But elite-level dance is not only physically demanding, it's cognitively demanding as well. Learning and rehearsing a dance piece requires concentration on many aspects of the desired performance." Marking essentially involves a run-through of the dance routine, but with a focus on the routine itself, rather than making the perfect movements.
I am not a professional dancer but i am trying to do it every time because it is nice for me and people around me.
