Dance, the Brain and Society

Neuroscience articles suggest dance is the physical activity that most benefits the brain. I obsessed about that for a while after my father was diagnosed with Alzheimer's disease. Although both my parents were self-conscious, he seems to have forgotten that part of his personality, but only in the family group. My mother will still barely let her picture be taken, so social dance is out of the question.
My ambition is to add dance to our society at large so we can use throughout our lives.
I work on the grass roots level mostly, but also am on the nominating committee for Cape Cod Ballroom Dancers for the upcoming elections. Members will hear from us soon.
