Who doesn’t love dancing? This art form has become more mainstream now than ever, thanks to social media. Every time a new, happening number releases, someone on the internet makes it their mission to create a short dance video, and if they are lucky, the videos become viral. What makes most of these dance videos special is that creators often choose peppy, fast paced numbers. Now, we all know that dancing is good for health, so instead of just keeping up with the latest trending Instagram reels, why not create your own playlist of the most energetic chart-toppers and dance your way to good health. If you need help, we’ve got you covered, but let’s first talk about the benefits of dance fitness.

It produces endorphins – the happy hormone, it makes you flexible, assists with weight management, improves your agility, is excellent for your heart and lungs… the list is endless.
