Just Stumbling...or Dancing?

http://socialdance.stanford.edu/syllabi/smarter.htm

I stumbled upon this website recently, and I thought it was interesting enough to be posted on my blog. In case you're too lazy to actually read the whole page, which I totally understand, here's a basic summary: Frequent dancing has been proven to make people smarter. It has been shown to ward off Alzheimer's and dementia. Dancing that requires rapid decision making, such as Zumba, instead of dancing where the pathways are already memorized helps strengthen a person's mental acuity. So get dancing and do your brain a favor! Luckily, MORP is coming up so you'll have a great excuse to dance as much as you can work that brain of yours!
