Benefits of Senior Dance Classes for Mobility and Wellbeing 🕺👵

Dance is one of the most beneficial forms of exercise for older Kiwis, combining physical movement with mental stimulation and social connection. Since 2016, Feisty Feet has become a vital weekly outlet for seniors in the Auckland community, offering benefits that extend well beyond simple exercise.

Regular participation in senior dance classes like Feisty Feet can help:

• Improve balance and coordination - reducing fall risk through gentle, guided movements
• Enhance cognitive function - learning dance sequences stimulates brain activity
• Boost mood and mental wellbeing - through endorphin release and creative expression
• Provide valuable social connection - combating isolation through shared activity
• Support joint mobility - keeping joints lubricated through appropriate movement

Dance classes specifically designed for older adults take into account common physical limitations while still providing an enjoyable, effective form of exercise. The Live Stronger for Longer certification ensures this programme meets national standards for senior fitness and safety.
