Effetto Danza (The Dance Effect), a groundbreaking new book by Professor Paolo Mariconti that explores the powerful intersection of dance, neuroscience, and wellness.
Featuring a foreword by international ballet icon Roberto Bolle, the book will be officially launched on May 22, 2025, at the historic Grand Hotel et de Milan.
Dance, Aging, and the Body: A New Scientific Perspective
In Effetto Danza, Paolo Mariconti—a medical doctor and researcher—dives into the transformative potential of dance as a tool for healthy aging, physical balance, and emotional well-being.
Far beyond a simple artistic discipline, dance is presented as a powerful ally in preventing cognitive decline, improving coordination, and enhancing overall vitality.
The book blends medical insight and real-world application, offering a science-based look at how dance stimulates the brain, supports the nervous system, and nurtures the body’s capacity for resilience and regeneration.
Roberto Bolle: A Living Example of Movement as Mastery
Few names resonate in the dance world like Roberto Bolle, who lends both his voice and vision to this publication.
His illustrious career, which spans the stages of La Scala, the Royal Ballet, and the Metropolitan Opera House, is not only a celebration of physical excellence but also of longevity, discipline, and personal evolution.
In his foreword, Bolle highlights the universal accessibility of dance: not reserved only for elite performers, but available to anyone seeking a deeper connection with their body and spirit.
His endorsement of Effetto Danza reinforces the message that movement, when practiced consciously, becomes a vital tool for self-expression and long-term health.
Why Dance Matters—at Any Age
As modern science searches for ways to extend quality of life, Effetto Danza offers a profound answer: longevity isn’t just about years—it’s about rhythm, energy, and presence. Dance, in this context, becomes a language for healing, a daily practice of emotional regulation, and a joyful return to ourselves.
Supported by neuroscience and infused with artistic insight, the book proposes a new paradigm for aging: one where the body becomes a site of knowledge, and movement becomes medicine.
