Why Ballroom Dancing?
Since ballroom dancing is a communal activity, it has positive effects on your mental health. Studies back up what is common knowledge: Being around other people builds up your social ties, and socializing contributes to a positive outlook as well as a higher sense of self-confidence. Ballroom Dancing can also be a good form of physical therapy! Check out this testimonial from one of our students.

Testimonials
“I have watched individuals with intellectual disabilities and autism sit quietly, sometimes almost motionless, with blank or distant expressions. Then the music begins and the dancing starts—and something remarkable happens. It is as if a light turns on. Their faces change, their bodies begin to move, and they become completely different people.
​
There is a scientific basis for the powerful effects that music and movement can have on the brain, but witnessing that transformation firsthand is truly magical. It warms my heart to see the joy, engagement, and connection that dancing can bring to these individuals.
​
And perhaps the most magical part is that when the music stops, the light doesn’t. The positive effects remain, and you can still see that spark in them. That is the true magic of what this organization does.”
- Gerald Feigin, M.D.
