Why Dance is Important
Dear Dance Parent,
When your child says, “I love dance”, embrace their passion and get ready to enjoy the extraordinary journey. Dancers’ hearts leap with joy every time they step into their dance studio; the magic of dance captivating their spirit. Dance is more than just movement. Dance is more than a sequence of steps. Dance is their language where words fail, allowing the expression of a dancer’s deepest emotion. Dance discovers the soul’s truest voice. Through dance, a dancer discovers the power to communicate without limits, to embrace their individuality, and to tell stories that words cannot convey. Through Dance, imagination is ignited building confidence and fueling creativity.
The joy is in the journey.
Not every dancer will turn their love of the art form into a career, but every dancer will take with them the lessons learned from their dance training, choreography and performance opportunities to improve the quality of their life.
Life Skills Through Dance
Building Cooperation, Creativity, and Confidence
Even though another career path may ultimately be chosen, in dance children learn the cooperative effort necessary to produce a high quality work of art. Every child benefits from quality dance training. Long-term learnings go far beyond practical applications in dance. Dancers enter society with the ability to maintain the uncompromising high standards nurtured during their dance training.
Creative thinking skills are developed through dance, as well as learning the value of discipline, commitment and work ethic. Self-confidence develops as young people overcome challenges to master new goals, learning to apply themselves and accomplish any task put before them.
Harmonizing Mind and Body
Academic and Physical Benefits of Dance
Dance teaches children about music, rhythm and beat. Students also have a better understanding of spatial relationships and learn to think with both sides of their brain. All these skills enhance a child’s academic performance, as well as their physical well-being.
Dance keeps you fit! Dance teaches the importance of movement and fitness in a variety of ways through a variety of disciplines. As well, dancers learn to coordinate muscles to move through proper positions. Dancing is a great activity to pursue at almost any age provided you are in proper health to handle the rigors of dancing for life.
Dancing Together
Cultivating Social Skills and Teamwork
All in all, dance is a great way to build invaluable social skills. Much more importantly however, it is an opportunity to teach your children the importance of being part of something larger than themselves. Dancers learn to take turns, to share attention, and to cooperate with others as they work within a group. These life lessons are part of the appeal of dance classes to parents around the world. Much like team sports, dance for children can teach some invaluable and important lessons.
