Ballroom dancing is very good for children's health and fitness.

The Telegraph reports that ballroom dancing is very good for children.

A dancing initiative backed by professionals from the TV programme Strictly Come Dancing had "more than 2,500 students aged five to 18 learn to cha-cha-cha, waltz and jive in 29 primary and secondary schools across England." It has been found to improve their behaviour and to boost low self-esteem and confidence, as well as improving their health and fitness and communication skills.
