Welcome to the “United Nations of dance & music!” This recreational folk-dance class meets Wednesday afternoons in the Women’s Club of Bellflower. We discover that common step patterns underlie traditional dances from various world cultures. Schottiches, Syrtos, Sambas and Polkas, Horas, Pravos, Halays and Tamzaras fill our dance cards. Intriguing rhythms challenge our brains; sustained movements provide cardio exercise; and camaraderie and the joy of dance induces us to smile inside and out. Research in brain activity suggests that synchronous movement with a group activates both sides of the brain and enhances endorphins. Other benefits of dancing include increased strength, balance, coordination and agility. The musical styles, ranging from rousing to peace-inducing, call forth a wide range of feelings as well as a sense of community. Comfortable shoes that allow for lateral movement are recommended. The facility has a responsive wooden floor ideal for dancing.
