In this episode of Hot Chocolate With Paul, your Sunday morning chat for people on the sunny side of 60, we talk about the many health benefits of dancing — and why you’re never too old to start dancing. From brain health and balance to heart health, flexibility, and social connection, dancing is one of the best activities for older adults who want to stay active, healthy, and happy. Paul shares personal stories about how dancing started in his teenage years listening to records and cassette tapes, how a college folk dance class changed his life, and how dancing helped him build friendships, confidence, and even meet his wife Stacy. From living room dance parties to cruise ship disco nights, this episode is all about how dancing can improve your life at any age. If you're over 60 (or getting there), and looking for simple ways to improve your physical health, brain health, balance, mood, and social life, dancing might be the perfect activity for you.
