This is not how the human body moves. No, it can. It's one possibility. But if you look at a human body and its ability, of all the different ways it can move, and that's how we're supposed to move. And not just that. When you move your body and you've got it all engaged, you're moving arms and hands and fingers, your brain is so active, it actually makes you smarter. It allows you to make better choices, it allows you to react better and respond better in your life. These things that aren't even addressed in fitness at all. And with dance, you get to incorporate your whole self into your movement. And that's why I think dance is the absolute best way to get your body healthy.
