3. No more slouching and improves posture. 

Do you slouch when you are sitting at your desk? Dancing is a great way to improve your posture. You'll always hear the instructor screaming out, "straighten those backs, point your toes!" If you continue to dance, it will eventually improve your posture and you will gain better control of your body.
