CBC's The Passionate Eye has a new documentary this week on aging. One of the aspects they looked at was the effect of dancing on the elderly. The study found that dancing was better at building muscle strength than a conventional gym workout.
The study was small, but continues a trend in research that shows that dancing is not just fun -- it is really good for us too.
