Description
Participation in ballroom dance offers an exercise-based wellness opportunity for individuals in recovery for a substance use disorder. Group instruction builds social cohesion through guided awareness and mindfulness of self, partner, partnership, classmates, and music. Improved physical and emotional well-being stem from unlimited opportunities to practice dance patterns in a relaxed, music-filled environment. This interactive approach to recovery also provides an opportunity to build self-efficacy, improve communication, facilitate cooperation, and offer an opportunity to exercise. Ballroom classes are well-orchestrated learning opportunities that covertly facilitate methods for improving life-skills. Learner achievements are celebrated in partnership through real-time engagement in the socially invigorating and healthy leisure-time pursuit of ballroom dance.
