Latin Dance for Kids

Did you know parents that dancing is not just a form of entertainment. It actually benefits your child physical development, body coordination, balance, social skills and discipline. If you have kids, you may be wondering what is the best way to channel their seemingly boundless energy. While traditional team sports are a good way to get your kids physically active, they may not be right for younger children. Dance classes are a great alternative to team sports, and our studio offer Latin dance lessons for children as young as 5 to 12 years old, participating in dance classes can be beneficial for kids of all ages. Dancing is a highly physical activity, and kids who take dance lessons regularly should expect to see a significant improvement in their overall physical health. Regular dance practice can increase your child's flexibility, range of motion, physical strength and stamina. The repetitive movements involved in dance can improve muscle tone, correct poor posture, increase balance and coordination and improve overall cardiovascular health. In addition to being a physical activity, dancing is also a highly social activity. Dance lessons can help children improve their social and communication skills, learn how to work as part of a team, develop a greater sense of trust and cooperation and make new friends.If your child is shy, enrolling him/her in dance can encourage them to reach out to other children of their age group and help to reduce their anxiety about new people or places. Dance can also help to alleviate fears related to performing in front of an audience. In addition, dance lessons can help to spark creativity in young children and help them to develop a form of performing arts.
