Dancing provides several health advantages, including weight loss, like most physical or cardio exercises. In addition, it helps in making muscles stronger if done with a proper diet. Presently, a perfect example of this definition can be Joseph Baena, son of dynamic bodybuilder Arnold Schwarzenegger. 

 

Baena has made his fans go bonkers with his dance moves since he entered the Dancing with the Stars show. However, as Joseph reached the “prom night” episode, he was eliminated.
