Why learning dance zaps infotech minds more than any activity: Sushil Bhan



Here's what Sushil Bhan found something that zaps your mind with what all that infotech 9-5 work can't do for you.

According to Wiki, ancing has evolved many styles. Breakdancing and Krumping are related to the hip hop culture. African dance is interpretative. Ballet, Ballroom, Waltz, and Tango are classical styles of dance while Square and the Electric Slide are forms of step dances.

Every dance, no matter what style, has something in common. It not only involves flexibility and body movement, but also physics. If the proper physics is not taken into consideration, injuries may occur.

According to Richard Powers in an article, dancing makes one smarter. See his article at http://socialdance.stanford.edu/syllabi/smarter.htm . He mentions that dancing makes one both mentally and physically smarter. 

He poses two questions: Why is dancing better than other activities for improving mental capabilities? Does this mean all kinds of dancing, or is one kind of dancing better than another?

However, the truth is that any form of activity gives same better results like dancing. So dancig alone is not the remedy. However, he suggests us to take a dance class, which can be even better.

Dancing integrates several brain functions at once, increasing your connectivity. Dancing simultaneously involves kinesthetic, rational, musical and emotional processes.

So let's dance and dance often!
