Have you always been a fan of dancing but never mustered the courage to actually get up on stage and perform?

On International Dance Day, you might be encouraged to do so, especially given the myriad benefits this art form offers.

From better balance and posture to improved cognitive function, dancing is a great way to feel better both physically and mentally (and by extension, emotionally).

Sadly, though, professional dancers are also more prone to injury, but if you're just starting out, baby steps are the way to go. 

Emaad and Audrey discuss the pros and cons of dancing, and remind you which style is set to make its debut at the Paris Olympics this summer!
