You might think your clubbing days are behind you, but strip back the alcohol and the dingy venue, focus on the dancing, and you could be looking at one of the simplest ways to boost your mental wellbeing. This feel-good movement releases endorphins, dopamine and serotonin (our 'happy' hormones), and it's genuinely fun, doing wonders for the mind and body.
Scientists have also found that dancing can have a positive impact on brain health for those living with dementia, Parkinson's and memory loss. So why aren't more of us doing it in our 40s and beyond?
