Do you get bored easily? Does the gym do your head in? Does the thought of exercise make your skin crawl? Do you ever wish you could reduce anxiety and accelerate your confidence? Do you ever find yourself sat watching dance videos all evening? Do you enjoy watching shows such as ‘Strictly Come Dancing, Britain’s Got Talent, Dancing On Ice ect.? Ever wondered why people love to dance so much?
Let me tell you why DANCE is the best hobby in the world.. yep, I said it. For fun or for your career, there’s so many positives and incredible things you can do with dance, and so many amazing things can do for YOU.
Dance helps you relieve stress like no other, allowing your body to express itself through different genres of music, through personal connection, through friends for life, through releasing endorphins, through increasing your fitness without even realising. Dance keeps you busy and takes your mind off anything else that you might be going through in everyday life such as schoolwork, work, bills, family issues, relationships and pretty much anything!
Dance as a hobby is like finding a new person within you… I can’t tell you how much I have found myself through dance alone. Not only is my relationship with my own mind better, but improving your mental health and well-being is the best thing about it, to the point I really could have been in some dark places without it.
But enough of the mental benefits, let’s get onto the physical. Just incase ya’ didn’t know… it keeps us in shape and makes us feel good. The confidence a person has in themselves and self-love creates an amazing dancer, an independent individual with a boss personality.
The best friends are your dance friends! We are seriously friends for life and I don’t say this lightly! In dance classes here at The Army DC you will realise that it’s not the amount of time you’ve known someone for, but more the quality of the relationships with those around you in just a short space of time. There are so many people with the same interests as you, the same crazy personality, the same troubles, the same fears, but as people, we just don’t get to express ourselves the way we should – THE ARMY DC changes that and creates a space where we ALL let go no matter how old, young, tall or short, we are all just as mad, strong but vulnerable as each other and it really is a beautiful thing. We have formed a family here at THE ARMY DC. Our kids see our adult dancers as their big brothers and sisters. We know these are friendships for life, you can talk to your dance friends about ANYTHING without feeling judged because we make expression NORMAL here. You get so comfortable around your dance friends. Dance shows mean sharing dressing rooms, sharing makeup, sharing clothes… and that’s not even half of it.
12 or 52? Age has nothing to do with anything. It should NEVER stop you doing something for you! Don’t let your mindset stop you. ‘Age’ or any other factor isn’t the problem stopping you from doing something that can change your life, it’s the mentality you put with these factors. Think about it, who said age mattered? No one else but you.
Make time for dance, it gives you something to talk about to people. It brings new people in your life that share your hobby. Doing something you love is only going to make you feel way more productive.
Everyone has 1 hour spare a week to improve their happiness and enjoy a hobby right? So if not now, when?
