Dancing is an excellent way for kids to move and use their whole body to exhort energy with a full range of motion and expression. It can fosters teamwork, coordination and rhythm, a love of music, increase feelings of achievement, improve confidence, and boost self-esteem. Educators have found that dance can also have a positive effect on physical health, cognitive development, social and emotional development. Bonus is that kids love dancing and requires minimal to no equipment.
