When should they start? One of the greatest things about enrolling your kid in dance classes is that they can start at any age. The benefits of dance classes vary with the age of the child but there is always room for development, socializing and fun. Toddlers who start dance classes learn rhythm, hand-eye coordination and become more familiar with moving their bodies. Younger children can practice discipline, listening skills and are introduced to the classroom environment. Older children get the opportunity to socialize, practice using their memory and perfect their technique. You can be assured that dance classes with our experienced instructors will be a fun and safe hobby that all kids can benefit from. Dance classes in Halifax at New Stars Dance School are open to kids of most ages to enjoy.
What does your kid gain from dance classes? Kids need a lot of mental and physical stimulation in order to grow into the best versions of themselves. Dancing is a great hobby for children as it targets these two issues at once, whilst also being lots of fun. During classes, kids will learn a series of movements that are eventually put together to form routines. Learning these moves requires a unique mixture of cardio and strength exercise (that doesn’t feel like exercise!). There is also lots of beneficial stretching in the warm-up and cool-downs. Older kids will be given some additional conditioning exercises to prepare their bodies for more complicated and physically demanding routines. Dance classes are also effective work-outs for the mind. Learning dance routines has been proven to be one of the best ways that children can develop new neural pathways involved in long-term memory, spatial awareness and cognitive function. All of these attributes are vital for healthy brain development in children. Last but not least, dance classes are great for children’s mental health. Dancing has been proven to relieve stress and boost serotonin levels. In our classes, our students can let the outside world of school and their other extra-curricular activities melt away. Students also often form tight friendships in their classes which boosts their confidence and self-worth.
