The study of dance is a wonderful way to enjoy exercising. Ballet in particular is very good at developing and maintaining balance and core strength.
Ballet classes and barre workouts are “excellent” for non-dancers, says Rebeccah Rodriguez, once a professional dancer and now a physician at the San Diego Sports Medicine and Family Health Center.
Upper-body strength, core strength improved flexibility and posture are among the benefits of ballet, she says. For older adults, having a stronger core – which promotes balance – reduces their risk of falls, and classes offer the security of having the barre to hold.1
In addition to the physical benefits of ballet, the comradery of class is a joyful way to spend time. With MAA’s schedule, students can study one day a week or several.
