What is Dance?
Dance is the art form in which human movement becomes the medium for
sensing, understanding, and communicating ideas, feelings, and experiences.
Dance provides a way of learningone that develops communication
abilities, problem solving techniques, and creative and critical thinking skills
along with kinesthetic abilities. At its core, the goal of dance education is to
engage students in artistic experiences through the processes of creation,
performance and response.
Benefits of Dance
Health: When you dance, your cardiovascular system improves, your muscle
tone increases and you burn calories. This low-impact aerobic activity also
increases flexibility, strength, and balance. Olympic athletes often dance as
part of their training to sharpen their control, agility, and speed. Dancing is
great exercise, and our studios offer a pleasant, fun atmosphere in which to
learn.
Confidence: Dancers possess an aura of self-confidence and an ability to
enjoy themselves more in social situations. When you learn how to dance,
your entire mental outlook will take on a fresh sense of creativity, motivation,
and energy. This new self-confidence in your dancing abilities will transfer to
other aspects of your life as well.
Self-Expression: Dance provides an emotional outlet so that you can
express your feelings through your body movements with passion and flair.
Dancing will bring out, improve upon, and strengthen your ability to
permanently use these expressive qualities even when you are not dancing.
