 Subject:  Good video on Dancing and Brain Health

Posted on Facebook

https://www.facebook.com/reel/1519422172461962

This is a very good video on why dancing is so good for you! I wish it were a youtube video but I couldn't find it there. He is on Youtube but I couldn't find this video.,

Dance is not just movement. It combines coordination, memory, rhythm, learning, and social connection all at once. As a neurologist, I see how this kind of cognitive load strengthens neuroplasticity, builds cognitive reserve, and supports long term brain health. Other forms of exercise are excellent, but dance challenges the brain in ways most workouts do not.
