SWOTA Dance

Dance makes us feel good

Dancing is in our bones, and it’s more than just a fun form of entertainment, explain Julia F. Christensen and her colleagues in a 2017 paper. Cave art seems to suggest that humans were dancing as far back as 70,000 years ago, and it serves important functions for us.

1. Dance makes us feel good

Dance transports us into a state of flow where we forget about our troubles, which is good for regulating our biological systems and nourishing our long-term health. At a deeper level, it’s a way of getting in touch with our bodies and our feelings, allowing us to “try on” different emotions and see how they feel.

It turns out dance is a combination of several activities that are each good for us in their own right: exercising, listening to music, and connecting with other people

Swota is not for everyone. If your aim is to be a professional dancer and appear on, "Dancing With The Stars", we probably won't be your cup of tea. However, if you want to be a good social salsa dancer right here in Toronto you've come to the right place. We'll be your cup of tea with lemon, honey and a drop of brandy.

We invite you to join us. You'll be happy you did, we guarantee it! Until then remember our mantra. Smile...Dance...Swota.
