Basically, you will all start with stretching and our approachable dance instructors will get your feet moving to hype your body up as you start to dance. Simple breathing in and out exercises can eliminate negative thoughts in your mind. 

If you are a beginner in ballroom dancing, you can avail of our beginners dance lessons (Sunshine Coast). If you think ballroom dancing lessons are hard, you’re wrong. The key to performing a dashing ballroom dancing performance is the right mind set. Of course, you can have that set with our energetic instructors at Templeton. 

Apart from what we already know, there’s already a growing body of evidence which indicates that ballroom dancing has a positive effect on relieving stress and preventing depression. 

Researchers have been studying the effects of dancing to mental health for a long time now. As an exercise, dancing actually releases good amounts of dopamine, or “feel good hormones.” Listening to music “stimulates the brain’s reward centres and dancing activates its sensory and motor circuits,” according to a student reported in Scientific American, as outlined in a “On The Brain” by Harvard Medical School.

Relaxing one’s mind is the key to keeping away from stress, and if you aren’t stressed out, you’ll get away with depression. 

Group activities such as ballroom dance lessons can expand one’s sense of social connectedness. This will in turn lower your stress and depression levels. Taking a partner to dance, trusting him/her and trusting yourself builds this feeling of connectedness.

The ability to keep your focus on the ballroom dancing lessons helps you perform mindful meditation. To keep up with the dance, you tend to increase your focus so you can be present in the moment. This scenario can actually turn off the negative thought patterns associated with depression or stress. Thus, if you are not into traditional meditation, start your ballroom journey by attending our beginners dance lessons (Sunshine Coast). This is a fun way to meditate and refresh one’s mind. 

Ballroom dancing also releases endorphins that lowers the levels of stress hormones in our bodies. If you level  up your basic ballroom dancing to attend our Latin ballroom dance lessons, you get to discover more moves. More ballroom movements means more physical activity, more exercises, more intimacy, more trust, more confidence and more energy.

Latin ballroom dance lessons are also good for personal development. As part of dancesport, these dances have defined styles and techniques. If you are already hooked to ballroom dancing, levelling up to Latin dancing (Noosa) can increase your confidence level. The different musical rhythms and emotive themes in this dance performance won’t let you think of anything negative. Why? Because you will only enjoy it!

Latin dancing (Noosa) is best continued by dance participants rather than doing traditional meditations and other traditional forms of mental therapy. To alleviate stress and depression, it is best to just dance and shake it all off. After all, it's just all in the mind.
