Having experienced first-hand the positive effects that music and dance can have on children’s development, we feel it is important for dance to be included in the academic curricula.

Utilizing dance in academics helps children develop skills that are necessary for learning such as creativity, originality, communication, critical thinking, and collaboration.

Students who can perform complex rhythms can also make faster and more precise corrections in many academic and physical situations. No doubt children who are involved in dance will excel in their academics as they tend to be more original in their approaches.
