DanceSport is a great activity for children!
Children Ballroom and Latin Dance classes (collectively known as DanceSport) are a fun and affordable introductory way for children to learn to dance in Houston. Ballroom dance and Latin dancing is a rewarding activity that involves physical exercise, coordination, mental stimulation and social interaction. Altogether that makes DanceSport dance classes a perfect activity for your child.
In our dance classes kids learn how to focus so that they can memorize dance steps and later perform them with music and together with other children. Thus, in dance classes children not only learn how to dance but also how to be courteous and polite to their peers.
In our beginner DanceSport dance classes we first introduce simple ballet, modern dance and hip hop dance steps to get children engaged in learning and improve their balance and coordination. Later we introduce them to formal Ballroom and Latin dances such as Waltz and ChaCha. These two dances are the first ones your child will learn in our classes. The fun thing is that there are more dances to learn. As students progress we teach them other dances such as Quickstep, Rumba, Samba, Foxtrot, Jive and Vienesse Waltz. Every dance has different musci and character which makes it fun for children to learn.
Starting Ballroom and Latin dance at a young age has many benefits for children:
First, it involves children in a productive, healthy activity which they can enjoy for the rest of their lives. Many people who started dancing as children continue dancing as they turn adults. Dancing is great physcially and mentally stimulating activity that can be enjoyed for the years to come. Therefore, involving your child in dancing is an investement into their physcial and mental health.
Second, dancing releases youth's excess energy in a constructive manner. We hear many parents who come to the studio complaining that their child is always watching TV or playing video games. Sedetary lifestyles of modern life are taking tall on our children who need to be active. Enrolling your child in DanceSport classes will help your child to be active.
Third, attending dance classes provides children with a community of their peers. Through learning in group children socialize with other kids and learn how to interact in a positive, respectful manner. These skills will greatly help your child when he or she will be turning adult.
