Benefits of Street Dancing to One’s Health

I. Improving stamina

Street dancing demands a range of energetic bodily movements and can really take it out from
an individual. However, a little effort goes a long way and regular workouts will greatly
improve one’s body’s stamina over time.

II. More flexible hands, feet, and joints

As opposed to many traditional dances, street dancing moves may require the participant’s
hands to support their body weight, as well as the feet and leg joints. Regular street dancing
exercise will strengthen these areas over time and greatly improve their flexibility.

III. Boosting mental self-confidence

Once an individual master the basics of street dancing and start to learn some nifty tricks,
his/her mental self-confidence will improve tenfold. His/her body will feel healthier and
happier, whilst this fun exercise will clear his/her mind of any lingering cobwebs.

IV. Developing concentration and spatial awareness

The often complex routines that street dancing requires may be hard to grasp in the early stages
of the training. However, once these skills build up, an individual will soon find that
concentration and spatial awareness come to him/her more naturally.
