Running // Do you think runners make better dancers?

Question

I think dance requires such endurance to really do it for more than a couple minutes, the cardio of benefits would translate well to dance. Does anyone else think there's a parallel? I really don't dance at all unless I'm forced to at a wedding or something, so my personal experience with this is really limited.

Answer 1

As a parent/grandparent of athletes, I would definitely say yes.

My son was a dancer with the Sacrament Ballet. He appeared in the Nutcracker. He was also a good swimmer and baseball player.

The entire Okland A's baseball team does Nutcracker every year. There is difinitely a correlation between sports and dance.

I am assuming you are a runner. As you know, most sports, and many performing arts have the same body building attributes.

Answer 2

Absolutely. On time we were dancing and one by one the wives had to go sit down and I was the only one left dancing. They said to my husband, I know Turtle Girl must be older than me, how does she have so much energy??!! The men were just kinda shuffling so they didn't tire as much and enjoyed my hoppy wiggly nonsense.

Answer 3

Yogis have balance, grace, coordination, flexibility and stamina.

Answer 4

yes
