Get out there and Dance! A new study which looked at over 1,000 senior women, those who participated in a dance program for eight year had a 73% reduced risk for developing a disability that impaired their ability to perform activities of daily living (ADLs). The lead author of the study writes “Although it is unclear why dancing alone reduced the risk of ADL disability, dancing requires not only balance, strength, and endurance ability, but motion, and memory for choreography.”
