Child Dances

Latin dances teach children

  • the feeling of rhythm,
  • movement skills,
  • coordination,
  • using the space around them,
  • balance,
  • correct posture

Beside the physical gains, dancing is an activity where children find a chance to

  • express themselves freely,
  • get to know themselves and their bodies,
  • improve their self confidence,
  • communicate and share,
  • improve their social skills,
  • learn to respect themselves and their friends,
  • take responsibitity

Lessons start with basic music knowledge and basic steps. As the course progresses, after doing warmups, topics like combinations, partner communication (leading and following), body control and musicality are covered.
