Health Benefits of Dance for Children

Check out momlovesbest.com/benefits-of-dance-for-kids which has loads of excellent information on how dancing can help children’s development on multiple levels. These include physical benefits (fitness, flexibility, spatial awareness, and balance), mental benefits (perseverance, focus and attention, and communication), emotional benefits (self-worth, empathy, uplift in mood), and social benefits (socialization and teamwork). And I would say that these same benefits apply to adults as well as children!

On a related note, I am sometimes asked if DanceInTime has classes for young children. I tell parents who inquire that the best thing they can do is to let their children see them enjoying music and dance. Parents are always welcome to bring children along when they come to DanceInTime’s Saturday afternoon class. Kids absorb the spirit of joy that can lead them to take dance classes in childhood, as well as being open to dancing as a hobby when they are adults!
