The health benefits are amazing: “Ballroom dancing is the best step to avoid Alzheimer’s” The Times, June 20, 2003, by Dr. Joe Vergese, Albert Einstein College of Medicine, NY.

Because ballroom works your brain as you memorize patterns, works your body as you dance, throws musicality into the mix and forces you to work with a partner.

The highly respected Mayo Clinic Newsletter frequently urges patients to take up ballroom dancing for its numerous mental and physical benefits.
