5 Ways to improve your business through dance
Dance is an incredibly powerful tool that has infinite benefits on all levels of life, including business health.
So, whether you own a small independent business or you are a part of a big corporate team, you can improve your business through dance.
Don’t believe me? No need to, give these a try and thank me later!
Here are 5 ways to improve your business through dance:
1. Dance improves your mood
Several scientific studies have shown how mood is boosted when people dance. If you are having a bad day, put some music on and let it move you. If you feel silly, don’t worry; the moment you stop caring about how you look when you dance, you unlock so much joy. This allows you to refresh and reboot, which is very handy if you are having a difficult day.
2. Dance reduces stress
Studies have shown that moving your body to the music releases dopamine and reduces stress. There is no ceiling effect, therefore the more you dance the less stressed you will be.
3. Dance stimulates creativity
When dancing, we use parts of our brain that we usually cannot access by simply thinking. This allows us to find new creative solutions for any kind of problem.
4. Dance stimulates team collaboration
One of the key transferable skills that dance teaches us is collaboration. When you learn choreography, you understand when it is your time to shine and take over the stage, but most importantly you learn to evaluate when it is time to support your colleagues by giving them space.
5. Dance eliminates barriers
When dancing, everyone is a dancer. No other distinctions of race, gender, age, abilities are made. This eliminates barriers and creates a sense of cohesion in your team, it reduces tensions and it boosts inclusivity.
These are only 5 examples of how dance can enhance your business, your workplace, and boost morale, creativity and purpose.
So now the real question is: why are you NOT dancing?
