What are the key health benefits discussed by Carolyn Scott regarding dance as a workout?

Burns calories and supports weight management: Moderate dancing can burn roughly 200–500 calories per hour, depending on intensity and style.

Boosts cardiovascular health and stamina: Raises heart rate, improves circulation, and builds endurance.

Strengthens muscles and bones: Helps build lean muscle, supports bone density, and improves core strength and balance.

Enhances flexibility and coordination: Wide ranges of motion improve joint mobility, posture, and overall body control.

Improves mental health and cognition: Reduces stress, tension, and depression, lifts mood, and challenges memory and focus through learning steps and routines.

Builds social connection: Group dance and classes foster community, reduce loneliness, and support overall well‑being.
