Seeing the youth section of the Pontian Association of Evosmos "Panagia Kremasti" dancing with high intensity, the idea of using Pontian dance as aerobic exercise was born.

The idea became an experiment, which in turn gave birth to the present study that proves the benefits of Pontian dance in terms of physical activity.

And it does so because as a group dance, it offers social interaction and socialization. It is exercise through socializing.

In Pontian dance as aerobic exercise, there is coordination, synchronization, and discipline among the dancers-athletes. The athlete-dancer must follow the intensity and behavior of the rest of the dance, and this is what our study showed. The athlete-dancer becomes one with the rest of the dance, refuses to give up, refuses to abandon the dance, and gives all his/her strength to complete the exercise.
