You’ve doubtlessly read countless articles and seen commercials about the importance of being active. With over 34 years of dance training experience, Dance Images knows “Dance” is one of the best ways to get their kids active.
Dance, whether it’s jazz, hip-hop, or ballet, has many fitness benefits, especially for kids. For starters, it’s a great form of aerobic exercise; if you watch dancers in action, you’ve seen how athletic and limber they are. At Dance Images, we provide programs for kids at all levels of dance training.
In addition to being great aerobic exercise, dance has many other benefits, such as improving flexibility and range of motion. It also provides excellent strength training; how often have you seen dancers holding up their partners? Since it is a form of cardio exercise, dance is also great for helping to build stamina. Dance studios also provide a great environment for your child to make friends, so if your kid is shy, signing them up for dance lessons at Dance Images is an excellent way to bring them out of their shell.
Besides the fitness benefits, dance has many other advantages. Dancing with a group teaches your child the importance of teamwork and how to communicate effectively, and building a sense of trust with new friends leads to greater co-operation. Additionally, your child will feel much less anxiety in social situations and make friends more easily.
Further, performing in front of a large group is an excellent way to overcome any anxiety about being in a social situation. As one of the top dance studios in Moose Jaw, we at Dance Images encourage all of this and more in our students!
Being a dancer requires intense focus and discipline, not to mention practice. This can be beneficial on other areas for your child, since they will apply this approach to their schoolwork, as well as lead to a lifelong appreciation for the arts.
Best of all, if your child suffers from low self-esteem, dance can build their confidence and let them feel more comfortable in their own skin. At Dance Images, we nurture our students to become the best they can be and help them to develop the skill of working hard and feeling the sense of accomplishment from this process.
