Worldwide network
Healthy Dancing
We unite dance, health and people around the world: a global network for dance schools, clubs, teachers and wellness specialists.
The idea
Dance as a source of joy and of health
We are creating a global network of dance organisations where dance becomes a source not only of joy and communication, but of health, longevity and quality of life for people everywhere. We unite the culture of dance with the science of health for the good of people and society.
Dance
Joy in movement, beauty, aesthetics and music.
Community
Communication with a partner and the people around you.
Health
Physical activity, posture and endurance, and longevity.
Why people dance
People come to dance for three main reasons
- Pleasure. Beauty, aesthetics, music and the harmony of movement.
- Communication. With a partner and with the people around them.
- Health. Physical activity, posture and endurance.
The problem
Dance is good for health, but the demand for health is going unanswered
- Professional dance training places high loads on the body.
- It can lead to premature wear, injuries and diagnoses.
- It causes discomfort and often disability.
- We ignore the demand for health and miss a huge market potential.
Health concept
Three basic factors behind thousands of diagnoses
Thousands of medical diagnoses come down to just three basic causes. By keeping these three factors in balance, we keep health.
1. Hydration
The amount of water in the cells.
2. Detoxification
The acid-alkaline balance.
3. Regeneration
Cellular renewal (mitochondria).
