The entire world is bound by art; it can be dance, music, drawing, or any kind of art. Without art, the universe is nothing. The form of art can differ from person to person, but the passion for art will remain the same for every creature in the world.
Dance is a unique form of art that is liked by all, irrespective of their age. We might have seen a child making moves when it listened to music, or we all might have heard that even the fetus makes movements within the womb to the rhythm. Therefore, regardless the age or sex, everyone in the world likes to dance.
Dance is a therapy:
Besides being an art, it is excellent therapy. You can be 9 or 90, but when you dance, you might definitely feel ten times younger than now you are. Because dance is not all about moves and rhythm, it is much more. You make moves and expressions that reveal yourself; thereby, you enjoy yourself. It leaves you in a state of ecstasy, making you forget all your worries and headaches.
De-stress your mind:
While you dance, you will be in a state of ecstasy and excitement. Have you ever wondered why? While you move, the cortisol level (which is usually secreted when stressed) is reduced significantly. This, in turn, induces the brain to secrete four happy hormones altogether – Dopamine (released when we go through pleasurable moments), Oxytocin (released during interpersonal connection with our close ones), Serotonin (induces emotional contentment), and endorphins (released during exercise).
As dance releases all these hormones simultaneously, it creates positive emotions and vibes in the brain. These hormones de-stress and detoxify your mind, keeping you happy, optimistic, and joyful all through the day.
Improves brain activity:
Brain detoxification may sound barbaric to you, as most people generally talk only of body detoxification. We are living in a digital world where stress and depression are a great challenge to deal with. Therefore, your brain needs detoxification, too. Without detox, your brain, over the course of time, might feel stressed and stop thinking properly, leading to poorer cognitive performance, lack of concentration, and more. Studies have proven that art is the best way to detox the brain to enhance its function. The dance will aid you in waking up your brain by improving your mental health and mood and keeping the brain sharp.
Strengthen your body:
On top of everything, dance helps you keep your body fit and healthy. It is the best way to exercise, with more fun and joy. CDC (Centre for Disease Control and Prevention) suggests that children and adults should do at least an hour of physical activity to stay fit. Dance is an excellent mind-body exercise to improve the strength of your body at any age. It improves posture and flexibility, strengthens the bones, and tones the muscles and body.
Some other benefits of dance include:
Improves Socialisation:
Another advantage of dance is that it enhances social and communication skills. As a dancer, you will meet tons of like-minded people, which eliminates loneliness from your life, and facilitates engaging with fun and joy. Besides, you can consider joining a dance class where you will have a group of dancers to mingle with. There are many more dance classes, or you can find the right one within your location online through websites like ThreeBestRated®. Joining classes helps you find your partners, and with this circle, you feel free to share and communicate with a lot of ease. That will enrich social bonding and empathy anew.
Improves confidence:
Dance elevates the confidence level in three ways. Firstly, usually, whenever humans learn a new skill and master it, they acquire some confidence in them. Automatically, a sense of sureness is stimulated in them. Then, the dopamine hormone released during dance keeps you motivated and curious to explore a lot. A scientifically proven fact is that the more you are motivated, the more you feel confident. Last, by making you physically fit! Good physics and good posture increase the sense of superiority and uniqueness. That’s why most of the dancers seem to be highly confident and motivated when compared to non-dancers.
Dance is not just a recreational activity, it can be the best art to make you fit up physically, mentally, and socially. So forth, dance totally influences your lifestyle and makes your life more exciting.

UP Boards Topper Prachi Nigam was trolled on social media for her facial hair; our obsession with appearance is harsh on young minds.
Prachi Nigam’s photo has been doing the rounds on social media for the right reasons. Well, scratch that- I wish the above statement were true. This 15-year-old girl should ideally be revelling in her spectacular achievement of scoring a whopping 98.05% and topping her tenth-grade boards. But oddly enough, along with her marks, it’s something else that garners more attention – her facial hair.
While the trolls are driving themselves giddy by mocking this girl who hasn’t even completed her school yet, the ones who are taking her side are going one step ahead – they are sharing her photoshopped pictures, sans the facial hair, looking nothing less than a celebrity with captions saying – “Prachi Nigam, ten years later”.
Doctors have already diagnosed her with PCOD in their comments, based on photographic evidence. While we have names for people shamed for their weight – body shaming, for their skin colour- racism, for their age- age shaming, for being a female- sexism, this category of shaming where one faces criticism for their appearance has no name. With that, it also has zero shame attached to it.
