Physical Development
Dance promotes the use of motor skills, balance, coordination, and muscle strength. Additionally, the repetitive movements and patterns in dance aid in helping children gain control over their bodies and enhance their spatial awareness.
Social & Emotional Development
Our Early Years dance workshops provide children with the chance to engage with peers and express their emotions, while also instilling the values of teamwork, cooperation, and collaboration. As children refine their dance skills and receive recognition from teachers and peers, they develop self-confidence and a positive self-image.
Creativity & Expression
Dance inspires children to explore movement while embodying characters or scenarios. Props and instruments are utilized to encourage self-expression and cultivate a sense of rhythm, as well as coordination with the music.
Communication & Language
Children are encouraged to listen to and follow instructions. Group discussions will be held to explore the theme of the workshop where children are encouraged to express their ideas.
