Dance is extremely 
beneficial for the mind and body.
Dance develops physical, 
creative, imaginative, emotional 
and intellectual capacities 
and has long-term 
positive effects on a 
child’s physical health, 
emotional well-being, 
cognitive function, and 
social development.
Students who dance 
can develop better listening 
skills, faster recall, and a 
strong sense of accomplishment.
This may translate to academic 
success as well. Studies have 
shown that dance improves overall cognitive 
skills because dancers are required 
to use several parts of their brains 
at once.
Dance improves the body’s 
coordination, strength, and 
flexibility as well.
When we dance, our brain releases endorphins that can create 
feelings of comfort, relaxation, fun, power, and joy!
