Abstract:

In today's digital era, where technological advancements have reshaped our lives, building resilience and confidence among younger generations has become increasingly crucial. This enlightening presentation will showcase how dance can play a pivotal role in restoring and enhancing these essential qualities that can help people live happier and healthier lives.

Technological advancements, while beneficial in many ways, have also contributed to challenges such as increased sedentary lifestyles, reduced face-to-face interactions, and heightened levels of stress and anxiety. Younger generations are often susceptible to these impacts, which can hinder their ability to develop resilience—the ability to bounce back from adversity—and confidence in themselves.

Dance offers a unique antidote to these challenges. By engaging in dance, young people can break away from screens, embrace physical activity, and connect with others in a meaningful way. The physical benefits of dance, including improved fitness levels and stress reduction, directly contribute to better overall health and well-being. Meanwhile, the creative expression inherent in dance fosters self-discovery, boosts self-esteem, and cultivates a sense of achievement—all crucial components of building resilience.

During our presentation, we'll explore how dance can empower younger generations to navigate the complexities of the digital age with confidence and resilience. Through inspiring stories and practical insights, we'll demonstrate how dance can be integrated into daily routines to promote mental and physical wellness.
