Work the brain and motor areas
Dancing also gives vitality, because “you secrete endorphins”in addition to “work on memory”. This activity alsoi “work all motor areas when you have to coordinate your movements and synchronize them with the music”, adds Damien Mascret. In the case of two-person dances, the areas of the brain used are different. “There is an additional benefit for those who follow because you have to anticipate the movements of the leader,” specifies Damien Mascret.
