Dance classes at Helene Goldnadel's Institute for kids are great because they can be kept occupied after school. These classes offer many benefits such as improving self discipline, coordination, self confidence, and self development as well as helping them to socialize. Children who are introduced to dance at an early age are able to develop a passion for rhythm and movement and a love for the arts.
Very young children such as toddlers and preschoolers can start out with creative movement classes. If your child is four or five years old, consider his or her maturity and personality before enrolling him or her into class. You should not force a shy child to take dance classes if he or she feels uncomfortable about taking them since this may discourage him or her from dancing altogether.
There are many dance genres to choose from and you should find out the genre that fits your child best. Ask your child which dancing style he or she would like to learn.
