3 . This is Your Dream Dance

With growing evidence that dancing helps boost brain health and manage symptoms of neurocognitive (神经认知的) and movement disorders, accessible dance programmes and movement therapists are helping improve the lives of millions.     1    .

● Dance as brain movement

There’s actually a lot more happening inside the brain when trying to follow even the simplest choreography (舞蹈编排). “In dance class, we have to learn patterns, and remember sequences,” says David Leventhal, a programme director. The effect extends beyond the dance class to the real world.     2    .

●    3    

In addition to the physical and neurological benefits, dance can also help people living with disease make out what their bodies can and can’t do. Rather than trying to control, or “fix” our body, dance is about developing greater body awareness and moving at our capacity, regardless of physical or cognitive difference.

● Dance as community

    4    . Dancing with others not only makes people feel less different in their abilities when dealing with neurological and movement disorders, it also helps to combat the loneliness and social isolation of living with a chronic illness.

Still, researchers say they’re only scratching the surface of understanding how dance can be used therapeutically.     5    . Researchers are also trying to find out the most effective types of dance movements and the optimal length and frequency of classes.

A．Dance as body acceptance

B．Dance as physical exercise

C．The uniqueness of dance as a therapy lies in the following aspects

D．Dancing requires more “brain power” than simpler repetitive exercises

E．Perhaps one of the biggest benefits of dance is the sense of belonging it creates

F．Larger studies are needed to confirm the findings of the smaller trials that have been done

G．Tasks like navigating the kitchen or walking to the bus stop can be more attainable after dancing
