" In this Groundbreaking and engaging book, two neuroscientists who are also dancers explore why dancing - whether salsa or ballet, hip-hop or line dancing - is good for the body, mind, and soul.

Dance benefits posture, coordination, balance, and fitness, and the authors show how to incorporate it into our lives to increase overall health. It helps whit cardiovascular conditions, diabetes, arthritis, back pain, and Parkinson's; reduces inflammation; helps to control weight; and regulates our immune system. Dancing also makes us happy: it lowers cortisol levels and releases feel-good neurotransmitters and hormones.

We're lucky that one of the best things we can do for our health is also one of the must fun. So, let's dance! " 4e de couverture
