The Benefits of Dance

If you’re thinking about enrolling your child in an activity, you might ask yourself, why choose dance?  What is it that makes dance special for a young child?  Is it dressing up like a prince or princess and spinning around the room?  Is it pretending to be a frog or a butterfly to a favorite song?

Dance is those things and so much more:  It is a comprehensive way to explore basic movements and music.  It is a way for children to express themselves.  It is a structured yet fun classroom environment.  Every child has possibilities in dance—yes, even the uncoordinated ones!  The next time your daughter twirls around the living room, or your son claps a rhythm for you, consider the following benefits of dance education:

• Physicality:  You’ll see your child’s gross motor skills and balance improve with consistent practice.
• Musicality:  Counting music and practicing rhythms are key elements to any quality dance class.
• Confidence:  Through positive reinforcement and goal-setting, children develop a sense of achievement.
• Discipline:  Listening, following instructions, and taking turns are at the heart of any classroom, and dance is no exception.  Children learn to respect their teacher and their friends, and in turn, they feel pride in themselves.
• Brainpower:  Through the physical repetition and attention required in dance, children not only improve at retaining movement, they often improve at retaining academic skills as well.
• Challenge/Success:  Although dance can be challenging—whether it’s a four-year-old learning to skip or a fourteen-year-old learning a complex jump—overcoming those challenges can be great motivation to succeed. 
• Strength:  As dancers mature and progress in technique, they become their own kind of athlete—one that’s strong yet poised, disciplined yet creative.

Whether or not your child decides to pursue dance as a career, he or she will still benefit from the life lessons that dance offers.  What an incredible opportunity!
