Using Dance as a Life Tool

If you think dancing as a “life tool” isn’t a thing, today, you’ll think again! 

Today, I’m talking with the wise and kind, Payton Kennedy about the power of using dance as a “life tool” to help expand your recovery. 

I started dancing at a young age, and when I quit drinking, I thought I would never dance again. 

The association between drinking and dancing was a thing initially, but eventually, I discovered the music again, and dancing helped me relieve anxiety and boost my mood.

After talking with Payton, I further cemented the idea of dance being a powerful tool that I think is underrated as a tool for managing your emotions and moods after you stop drinking.
