The physical benefits of children dancing are better coordination, agility, and flexibility. Dance classes can then help improve endurance, strength, along with heart and lung function. Healthy blood pressure, balance, and spatial awareness are some other physical benefits to dance.



Dancing children develop the ability to work within different spaces. As they explore their bodies' range of motion, their spatial awareness improves. Through trial and error, they learn how their movement has an effect on the world around them.


 

Dancing also improves a child's coordination. Especially when their bodies are rapidly developing. Balance is vital in developing skills in other parts of life, such as riding a bike. The coordination skills learned here can eventually translate to adult life in setting healthy boundaries.


 

Kinaesthetic memory develops as children dance. Kinesthetic memory is an essential factor for human interaction with the outside world. Dance creates a solid platform for the child's physical development and level of fitness.


 

Dancing utilizes the entire body. This form of exercise is excellent for complete body fitness. Young children are naturally active. Harnessing this activity in dance presents an opportunity to expand movement possibilities and skills.

 

Through dance movements, children become more aware of their bodies and what they are capable. They understand what each muscle and limb can do. They build their courage to experiment with movement. As they push themselves, they observe what they can accomplish with their own bodies.



Dance is a fantastic way for your child to learn about what their body can do, to grow confidence and make friends
