Dance is an art form and a low impact aerobic activity that combines physical activity, social interaction and mental stimulation. It also enhances the development of children and promotes healthy bodies.
Children who participate in dance classes enhances their ability to work as a team and they learn to think quickly and creatively. They also build confidence and self esteem and a new sense of creativity, motivation, and energy that can easily be transferred to their the classroom.
Dance also provides children with an outlet in which they can freely express their feelings through body movements. This can also teach them to be aware of their own body language, a skill that is usually required in life.
