Starting Tuesday MUSEUM MOVES Ballroom Dance Lessons begin in the museum’s third floor Gallery, and will culminate with a dance party on April 20th. An average adult can burn up to 500 calories during one hour of dance. In addition, ballroom dancing is good for your brain because it is both a physical and social activity that requires memorization. Dancing also helps to strengthen muscles and build bone mass which can prevent osteoporosis.
