Why Toddlers Benefit From Dance Classes

Toddlers dance classes are a great way for young children to have fun, socialize, stretch their imaginations, discover new ways to express themselves, and start building a foundation for what it means to dance.

Increases Learning Abilities

The brain works by electrical current thereby needing oxygen and water to function well. Movement (dance) helps to provide one of these two elements, oxygen. Another wonderful thing happens with movement. The brain produces a neuro-chemical called endorphins. This chemical causes a feeling of energy and makes the brain more conducive to learning.

Improved Behavior

Dance can help calm children that suffer from hyperactivity disorders as well as those that suffer from self-destructive behaviors. The act of dance seems to help calm and focus these troubled young minds. Dance also serves as a way for toddlers to get rid of excessive energy which always helps improve behavior in little ones.

Physical Development

Dance classes help develop muscles, tone the body, improve circulation, improve posture, balance, coordination, and promote greater flexibility. Flexibility is often overlooked as a benefit but can really decrease the chances of injury, especially in an active toddler. Dance helps keep the body conditioned and the mind focused which heightens one’s ability to perform other physical activities.

Mental Growth

Toddlers who are involved in dance will excel in their academics and tend to be more creative. The art of dance helps increase a toddlers focus, creativity, and discipline, all of which are very important to mental growth.

Increased Social Interaction

Dance improves sensitivity, understanding, appreciation, and consideration for others. Both for their similarities and differences. Dance can broaden your toddlers horizons by introducing them to other children at an early age.
