Question:

How is dance beneficial to a person and how is it use as therapy?

Best Answer - Chosen by Asker: As a form of therapy, dancing changes your focus. You set aside your other problems for 2 hours and all you do and think is dance. Dance involves both your mind and your body, unlike jogging where you can jog but still think about your problems. Dance is complicated enough that you have to turn off other thoughts and concentrate on dancing. At the same time, it is an aerobic activity that brings enough oxygen into your system and exersises all muscles. That in turn helps the brain chemistry to be on the right track.
