What to expect!


Social skills
-
Communication skills: Can help improve communication skills
-
social interaction: Can help people meet like-minded people and form new social connections
Creativity & Thinking
-
Imagination: Can encourage children to be more creative and express themselves in many ways
-
Critical thinking: Can help children learn to think critically
-
Because they are taught, not just the basics of a dance, but the etiquette as well friendships, often lifelong will happen
-
It will bring kids out of their comfort zone, get them off their cell phones, and build their self confidence to unimaginable heights!
Children dance before
they know what music is...
What dance does for kids
that a cellphone or a game
console cannot do...
