When it comes to their kids, parents want them to have the best. There are so many things to love about ballet; the grace, the poise, the ease with which dancers glide across the stage.
Ballet classes can start for young kids around ages four and five.Below are some of the benefits of ballet:
- boosts concentration and school performance.
- improves muscular strength, flexibility and range of motion.
- boosts coordination and balance while correcting poor alignment.
- helps to improve children’s mental and emotional health.
- can help young children develop their social skills.
Ballet training exposes students to a combination of movement, music and performance. Children enhance their sensory awareness, cognition which includes attention, memory and learning — and overall consciousness. These are skills that benefit kids in all areas of life.
