"Lively and enlightening."â??Sarah L. Kaufman, Washington Post

"[A] zippy guide to better health."â??Publisher's Weekly STARRED Review

Discover why humans were designed for dancingâ??and learn how to boogie for better healthâ??with two neuroscientists as your guide.

Dancing is one of the best things we can do for our health. In this groundbreaking and fun-to-read book, two neuroscientists (who are also competitive dancers) draw on their cutting-edge research to

  • reveal why humans are hardwired for dance
  • show how to achieve optimal health through dancing

Taking readers on an in-depth exploration of movement and music, from early humans up until today, the authors show the proven benefits of dance for our heart, lungs, bones, nervous system, and brain. Readers will come away with a wide range of dances to try and a scientific understanding of how dance benefits almost every aspect of our lives.

  • Dance prevents and manages illness and pain: such as Diabetes, arthritis, back pain, and Parkinson's.
  • Dance can be as effective as high intensity interval training: but without the strain on your joints and heart.
  • Dance boosts immunity and lowers stress: it also helps reduce inflammation.
  • Dance positively impacts the microbiome: and aids in digestion, weight loss, and digestive issues such as IBS.
  • Dance bolsters the mind-body connection: helping us get in tune with our bodies for better overall health.

We're lucky that one of the best things we can do for our health is also one of the most fun. And the best part: dance is something anyone can do. Old or young, injured or experiencing chronic pain, dance is for everyone, everywhere.

So, let's dance!

  • Partner dance (salsa, swing dancing, waltz)
  • Ballet
  • Hip hop

  • And more!… (altro)

One of my goals for 2023 and 2024 is to pick up more non-fiction books. I stumbled into Indie Bookstore day as an excited shopper knowing she was going to buy FAAAAARRRRR too many books. I did! My TBR is sad, my inner reader is excited! Dancing is the Best Medicine was one of my finds (and a $2 find at that! SCORE!). My local indie bookstore's shelves were raided and I acquired many more indie or not often rated/reviewed set of books.

Dancing is the Best Medicine is a fantastic non-fiction read that breaks down the science on why dancing is good for us. From mental to physical and even sexual, dancing is an all around great exercise that can connect people across the world with different languages. Reading two neuroscientists research and findings on dancing was SUPER cool! I adore research, so this book was great. Luckily, this book isn't boring. It's written in a highly engaging tone that will make readers not feel like they are reading a textbook.

Overall, a must read and highly recommended book from my shelf!

Five out of five stars. ( )

I haven't finished this book. I've tried multiples times for it to grab me so I don't want to put it down, but that hasn't happened yet. I'll keep reading it a little at a time.

I started dancing when I was five and now teach ballet and tap. I was really interested in this book because sometimes I struggle with getting students interested in certain types of dance that they see as less "fun." It also intrigued me as someone who feels they missed their calling as a neurobiologist.

Dancing is the Best Medicine was informative, yet not as informative as I had hoped. It felt more anecdotal than scientific which is a benefit for those who are not into reading non-fiction, but I had hoped for a more in-depth dive into the specifics of studies, biology, etc. Still, it taught me a lot and I hope to share some of the information with my fellow dance teachers.

This book is probably far more interesting to someone really into dance than I found it to be. The authors make a good argument for dance as a healthy activity, but I'm not sure how anyone would argue with that. Kind of boring.

Dancing always feels good...and this books is great at talking about why that is so. Not just for our physical health, but also for the brain and our spirit! ( )
