Why is dance & gymnastics good for your child?

Health: When you participate in dance or gymnastics, your cardiovascular system improves, your muscle tone increases and you burn calories. This high-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. This is a great exercise and our studio offers a pleasant, fun atmosphere in which our students learn.

Confidence: Dancers and Gymnasts possess an aura of self-confidence and an ability to enjoy themselves more in social situations. When you are learning, your entire mental outlook will take on a fresh sense of creativity, motivation and energy. This new self-confidence in your abilities will transfer to other aspects of your life as well.

Self-Expression: Dance and Gymnastics provides an emotional outlet so that you can express your feelings through your body movements with passion and flair. Working on skills will bring out, improve upon, and strengthen your ability to permanently use the expressive qualities even when you are not performing.

Social: Class lessons are an easy, low-pressure way to meet people. Many of our students build lifelong friendships and share great memories together.

Relaxation: In today's fast-paced world, we sometimes forget to take a moment for ourselves. Dance and Gymnastics provides an enjoyable sense of escape from your normal daily routine, plus a chance to relax, relieve stress, and concentrate on yourself.

Fun: Dance and Gymnastic's classes are a great way to add excitement to your life. Although learning to do these skills takes concentration and dedication, you will be constantly surrounded by artistic, cheerful people who make learning a pleasurable and rewarding experience. Come join us and have some fun!
