Benefits of Dance Classes for Young Children
Young children learn such skills as listening carefully and not talking while instructions are being given. They also learn to be a member of a group and to take turns. Dance classes offer the opportunity to move to a beat, increase musicality and the use of the imagination. They learn to express their feelings and emotions physically in a non-aggressive manner. Students are helped to become more familiar with their bodies and to use their bodies creatively. Dance can also offer experiences of different cultures. To this list of benefits, we must add physical flexibility, and co-ordination. Also, cardiovascular and general fitness are improved. Dance lessons are a team-building and confidence-enhancing activity.
