Dance Lessons for Youth
Movement has many options to help many areas of growth
Movement and rhythm comes naturally to kids, and when you get a child involved in regular dance classes, the benefits only get better. Not only does dance allow kids to get their energy out, it’s also a great (and often safe) way for them to express themselves. Broadway dancer, choreographer, and dance fitness instructor Joseph Corella says the artistic side of dance gives kids the opportunity to learn to speak another language: the language of movement. Dance training also teaches kids that diligent work pays off. “If they continue to put in effort in class, they will literally see results in the mirror. It’s such a concrete way for children to see that observing their actions and listening to guidance from teachers, combined with hard work, leads to positive results,” Corella said.
