While some imaging studies have shown which regions of the brain are activated by dance, others have explored how the physical and expressive elements of dance alter brain function. For example, much of the research on the benefits of the physical activity associated with dance links with those gained from physical exercise, benefits that range from memory improvement to strengthened neuronal connections. #highlanddance #highlanddancing #highlanddancer #highlandfling #highland #dance #tulloch #sworddance #scottishdance #scottishdancing #scotdanceontario

The brain power you need to access for dance requires you to focus on constant changing of movement and recalling patterns. #highlanddance #highlanddancing #highlanddancer #highlandfling #highland #dance #tulloch #sworddance #scottishdance #scottishdancing #scotdanceontario Photo credit to https://awcphotography.ca/.

While most forms of exercise stimulate endorphins, it seems dancing releases more endorphins than typical aerobic movement. Dancing is also more successful at reducing cortisol levels. Since cortisol is a stress hormone, this is another reason that dancing can increase feelings of happiness and relaxation. #highlanddance #highlanddancing #highlanddancer #highlandfling #highland #dance #tulloch #sworddance #scottishdance #scottishdancing #scotdanceontario
