Today our conversation centres around the benefits of dance for enhancing healthy aging for both mind and body. I was reflecting on the many ways in which dance has positively impacted my life, and I thought that John Travolta says it best. “ Dancing's part of my soul. I enjoy it, it makes people happy, and it makes me happy.”
For me, dance is the best fitness
activity.It is relatively low impact, the variety of styles and
music constantly challenges my brain to adapt, and I leave each
class, high on endorphins, after a dance workout that was both
intense and fun. You can start it at any age - I began when I
retired. Here to tell how dance has positively impacted his life,
and how it can benefit you, is my dance teacher and friend, Dale
Neale.
Dale has over 30 years of
experience in dancing and enjoys teaching all levels of dance from
beginner to advanced, social or competitive dancing. His goal is to
bring joy into the lives of people through the gift of dance and
movement. His dance philosophy involves improving the quality of
your life through the joy of dance and improving yourself
physically, emotionally, mentally and spiritually to be the best
you can be as you are never too young or too old to start
dancing!
Dale began as a ballet
dancer at the age of 16, and transitioned into ballroom and Latin
dancing at the age of 25. He is the founder of Dale
Neale Dance and is a Head Master Instructor, Teacher, Choreographer
and Coach. Dale comes from an extensive competitive dance
background and has competed in International Latin, Standard and
American Smooth and has won several titles including the U.S. Open
Smooth Championship, numerous Rising Star Championships and he is a
4-time winner of the Canadian Smooth Championships. Dale has
danced in movies, commercials, music videos, and has performed
at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas. He also spent time traveling
extensively through Europe performing and teaching Salsa with
American Latin All Stars.
