Cardiovascular: Ballroom, Country and Latin dancing can raise the heart rate anywhere
from 80 to 120 beats per minute. That is the equivalent of any strength training or aerobic
program available today. Sustained in 2 minute bursts over a 45 minute period, this will
build not only your heart's strength, but it's endurance, too.

Muscle Tone: Ballroom, Country and Latin dancing, when done at an intermediate to
advanced level of technique, use the perfect blend of isometric and isotonic resistance,
the two key ingredients to muscle building and toning. The blend and use of the muscles
is perfect for building beautiful tone without building a lot of muscle mass, a big concern
for women in particular.

Joints: According to the American Journal of Medicine, the best way to avoid arthritis
and remedy current joint discomfort is to continue to use the joints in a controlled manner.
The rise and fall of Waltz answers to this beautifully.

Spinal Column: The frame or posture maintained in dancing places the spine in a
natural and correct position, even more correct than when standing or sitting naturally!
That also puts all your organs in alignment, which is now thought by many doctors and
chiropractors to fight sickness, disease, fatigue and more.

Respiratory: Many track greats know that a strong set of lungs get plenty of oxygen,
which makes the heart work easier, which in turn allows us to dance and have fun longer!
That's why sprinters run a lot of "wind" sprints: brief bursts to up the heart rate quickly,
then bringing it down and doing this repeatedly. This is similar to the effect on the heart
in dancing.
So be healthy and get out there and dance !
