Ballet & dance strongly support core school learning outcomes.

I love dancing; I am completely biased. I’m not even going to pretend that I am objective on the topic, I’m not. But if your child is showing an interest in ballet or dance, then get them moving now!

Ballet is great in & of itself. It’s joyful and fuels the soul. But there are also so many reasons why your child should dance; it has great outcomes for your child’s education.

Dance Class

Ballet & Dance strongly support your child’s education in these ways:

  1. Improves concentration and classroom focus
    Learning choreography requires sustained attention, listening skills, and the ability to follow multi-step instructions—directly supporting focus in academic lessons.

  2. Enhances numeracy concepts
    Counting beats, understanding rhythm, timing, spacing, patterns, and symmetry all reinforce mathematical thinking in an embodied, practical way.

  3. Strengthens memory and sequencing skills
    Remembering movement patterns enhances working memory and helps children understand order, patterns, and cause-and-effect used in maths, reading, and problem-solving

  4. Builds self-regulation and emotional control
    Dance teaches children to manage energy levels, wait their turn, cope with correction, and persist through challenges—key skills for classroom behaviour and learning readiness.

  5. Boosts confidence
    Mastering physical skills and performing builds self-esteem, which translates into greater confidence speaking up, asking questions, and attempting new academic tasks.

  6. Encourages creative and critical thinking
    Dance invites children to interpret ideas, make choices, solve movement problems, and think imaginatively—skills valued across all learning areas.

 

AND let’s not forget all the physical reasons……..

  1. Improve fine motor skills
  2. Improve gross motor skills
  3. Increase flexibility
  4. Build coordination
  5. Develop posture
  6. Increase & improve cardiovascular health
  7. Strengthen muscles
  8. Increase bone density
