Professional dancer shares joys of dancing with Briefly News

Rangamasy, a professional dancer explained the joys of moving the body:

“Dancing releases endorphins through a combination of physical activity and rhythmic synchronization. When you dance, your body engages in aerobic exercise, which stimulates the production of endorphins, the body's natural "feel-good" chemicals. Additionally, dancing to music activates the brain's reward centres, enhancing the release of endorphins and other neurotransmitters like serotonin and dopamine.
