Benefits of Dance For Kids

Dynamic Dance Class

 

If you have kids, you may be wondering what is the best way to channel their seemingly boundless energy. While traditional team sports are a good way to get your kids physically active, they may not be right for younger children. At Dynamic Dance and Tumbling we offer several options to ensure we position your kids for the best experience possible.  Learn how our students are benefiting below. 

Improved Physical Health-Dancing is a highly physical activity, and kids who take dance lessons regularly should expect to see a significant improvement in their overall physical health.  Regular dance practice can increase your child's flexibility, range of motion, physical strength and stamina. The repetitive movements involved in dance can improve muscle tone, correct poor posture, increase balance and coordination and improve overall cardiovascular health. 

Socialization Benefits-In addition to being a physical activity, dancing is also a highly social activity.  Dance lessons can help children improve their social and communication skills, learn how to work as part of a team, develop a greater sense of trust and cooperation and make new friends. If your child is shy, enrolling her in dance can encourage her to reach out to other children her age and help to reduce her anxiety about new people or places. 

Educational Benefits-Becoming a skilled dancer requires practice, discipline and focus, skills that can be useful in other areas of your child's life. Lessons can help to spark creativity in young children and help them to develop an appreciation for the arts. Students who regularly participate in dance lessons typically tend to perform better academically than their nonparticipating peers. 

Improved Self-Esteem-As children adjust to the movements and postures required in dance, they begin to get a better sense of their bodies. As they become more comfortable in their own skin, their confidence and self-esteem also improve.
