Say goodbye to boring cardio and hello to a vibrant community. As a Brazilian-inspired dance studio, we bring a taste of Brazil's rich dance traditions right to your feet.

Dance Away the Blues

Let's be real - life can be stressful. Whether you're juggling work, family, or just trying to navigate this crazy world, it's easy to get overwhelmed. And that's why we are here to help you. At Rabaterapia, we know that moving to the beat can do wonders for your mental health.

A study by the New England Journal of Medicine reported that dancing frequently can improve cognitive function and reduce the risk of dementia by up to 76%. Who wouldn't want to be young forever and remember all those precious core memories with your friends and family? Because we most certainly do!

Feeling happy? Dance. Feeling low? Dance. Trust us, it can change your life!

Dance encourages mindfulness by focusing on the present moment. Concentrating on your movements, the rhythm of the music, and the choreography helps you stay present, reducing ruminative thoughts and anxiety about the past or future. The combination of music, movement, and social interaction can release serotonin and dopamine, which are chemicals in the brain associated with happiness and pleasure. This makes dance a great way to combat feelings of sadness or depression.

Need more convincing? It is scientifically proven, dancing releases endorphins, those magical little chemicals that make you feel happy. So just dance it out!

Top Health Benefits

Who knew that having fun could also be a killer workout? It is, in fact, a fantastic way to improve your physical health. You can combine cardio, strength training, and flexibility all in one go.

• Cardiovascular Health: Dance is an awesome cardiovascular exercise that gets your heart pumping and blood flowing. Engaging in regular dance workouts can improve your heart health, increase your stamina, and reduce the risk of heart-related diseases. The physical activity involved helps improve circulation and oxygen flow, making you feel more energetic and alert throughout the day.
• Muscle Toning and Strength: Different dance styles target various muscle groups, helping to tone and strengthen your body. Whether it's the powerful leg movements in Jazz Funk or the core work in Pop Funk class, dance workouts can help you build muscle and improve overall body strength. Let's get those abs out!
• Creative Expression: You have the freedom to express yourself creatively. Jamming on your personal fave artists and songs while working out is a dream come true for everybody. But burning calories while having fun is luxury. Channel your emotions into creative energy and glow from within.

Who says adults can't have fun?

As your personal therapists, we encourage you to channel your inner child. Let's just be playful, have spontaneous laughter, and a whole lot of joy with a hint of health in it. Because forget about adulting for a second and think critically. When we are babies or even from the moment we enter the world, why are we so attuned to sounds and rhythms, and naturally incline towards music and movement? Studies show that 75 percent of babies dance by 9 months. Simple actions like clapping, bouncing, and swaying to music help develop babies' motor skills and physical coordination. Which clearly means that WE ARE BORN TO DANCE!

Whether it's a Jazz Funk routine or a vibrant Brazilian Funk class, you'll find yourself wondering why you didn't start dancing sooner.

We understand that everyone's dance journey is unique, and we celebrate those differences. Dance is for everyone, and our goal is to make you feel at home, no matter your background or experience level.

Buckle up, because we're about to ditch the "same old cardio" and join the club of those who exercise by dancing ✨
