Why: Line dancing is a fun, social activity. You don’t need a partner as you all dance together.How it works: It is a choreographed dance with a repeated sequence of steps in which a group of people dance in one or more lines or rows, all facing either each other or in the same direction, and executing the steps at the same time.Benefits: Line dancing can improve your balance and help you find a beat. If you have never danced before, this is the best way to learn as it teaches basic footwork, such as triple steps, turns and spins, rocking steps and many other steps that you will use in every form of dance. It will also improve your confidence as you get better. As it is a group dance, you can come on your own and join in the fun. There are also a lot of health benefits, including the fact it can reduce the risk of Alzheimer’s disease and other forms of dementia in the elderly.
