Dancing increases exercise interest

Ballroom dancing is helping to improve behaviour and interest more children in exercise, research found.

An evaluation of a national dancing initiative backed by Strictly Come Dancing professionals Darren Bennett and Lilia Kopylova found that children's attitudes to exercise changed as a result of introducing dance to PE lessons.

The scheme, called Essentially Dance, aimed to improve children's health and fitness, build their confidence and improve their relationship skills.
