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!
