The Benefits of Dance Education
At Bright Beginning we believe that part of
a young child's development should include an exposure to the
arts. We believe that dance is a vehicle for both character
development and artistic, cultural and personal expression.
Dancing is for the mind, body and spirit. Dancing will help:
1. Develop poise and confidence
2. Sharpen mental focus and discipline
3. Provide opportunities for public performance
4. Improve physical control, agility and speed
Bright Beginning incorporates a weekly dance
program into our curriculum provided to us by a wonderful professional
dance studio, Design
in Motion. Dancing is an opportunity to emote joy and good
energy; allowing children the opportunity to participate fully
in the art of dancing.
Design
in Motion classes incorporate movement games and activities
that teach dance technique, academic skills, behavior and
life skills, such as:
1. Communication
2. Listening
3. Following directions
4. Cooperation and positive social interaction
5. Reflective learning
Design
in Motion's instructors are highly skilled in dance techniques,
teaching methods, youth development and behavior/classroom
management. The instructors recognize that children have
different learning styles and multiple intelligences. Instructors
teach dance technique and more, and focus on the development
of the whole child.
