Dancing at Home during Quarantine: Considerations for Session Structure, Aerobic Fitness, and Safety
Journal of Physical Education, Recreation & Dance, v92 n4 p22-32 2021
Dancing has been recommended as a suitable home-based physical activity during the quarantine period associated with the COVID-19 pandemic. Dancing can reduce sedentary behavior and thereby maintain physical and emotional health. The aim of this article was to provide support to dance, fitness, and/or other health professionals in guiding individuals wishing to practice dancing activities at home. By considering dancing as a strategy to increase levels of physical activity at home, this article is divided into three sections: i) the structure of a dance session, ii) elements of aerobic fitness, and iii) safety considerations. A home setting dance session lasts ~40-50 minutes, including the warm-up, the specific dancing activities, and the cool-down.
