Usually, with the start of school, all those activities that are part of a child's free time and life are also shared.
The dance is among the most popular for girls while you see few boys. In reality, there is no reason why it should not be suitable for everyone, regardless of gender.
Dance is a great activity for children's free time, for at least 5 good reasons .
1. Dance helps the child do enough movement
Dance is known to be movement and every child should perform a correct and regular physical activity . The World Health Organization has drawn up guidelines on how much physical activity should be performed to stay healthy.
The WHO councils state that, to promote the development of bones and muscles and to prevent pathologies such as hypertension, diabetes and even anxiety and depression, children and adolescents, starting from the age of five, should practice at least one hour per day of physical activity and aerobic activity at least three times a week .
For physical activity, of course, we also mean here all those unstructured activities that involve movement, for example the game or the various recreational activities.
The dance, however, is an excellent physical activity and a good school provides all the tools (teachers, courses, tips ...) to calibrate this activity based on the age, development and needs of the child .
2. Dance promotes a harmonious development of the body and teaches you to love it
The dance exercises help to give elegance and beauty to the posture and favor a correct development of the muscles, a better elasticity of the joints and an excellent functionality of the internal organs .
Furthermore, dance teaches us to love and care for our body . If we educate our children to take care of their bodies, they will continue to do so even as adults. It will become a normal thing for them, it will become part of their lifestyle and will help them adopt all those behaviors that promote good health.
3. Dance is discipline
Dance is an educational medium that, in addition to ensuring physical and mental benefits for the child, collaborates in the formation of his personality . Discipline is fundamental for the child; a disciplined individual, in fact, will be able to regulate himself when it will be necessary to follow the rules of life. And isn't this the main purpose of every parent? Growing children who will become independent adults and able to better manage their lives and their freedom? Dance can help us in this far from simple task.
4. Dance promotes the child's emotional development and helps him to express himself
Dance is not just movement; it is art, creativity, emotion.
Through dance one comes into contact with one's emotions . Furthermore, through it, the child learns to use movement as a tool to communicate; discovers that the quality of movement varies according to personal sensations but also to the influence that comes from the outside world.
The dance promotes knowledge, listening and self-discovery and helps the child find the way to express himself and to communicate with the outside world.
5. Dance helps create goals and strive to achieve them
Dance puts you in front of your limits and provides you with the tools to overcome them . It teaches you that creating goals is important and that, thanks to dedication, commitment, discipline, you can challenge your limits and sometimes even overcome them.
It helps you to understand that there are disappointments and they are part of life, because you can't always achieve the desired results, but you don't have to give up, never. It helps the child to understand, and to live on the first skin, a concept that he can apply in many other areas (for example at school, at work ...): to obtain results it takes hours and hours of work .
Here are five good reasons to enroll your children in a dance course. In reality, there are others as well ... which you will surely find out if you give your children this fantastic opportunity.
