Dance Classes and Performance

Dance Classes and Performance : With classmates and friends (Hard knock life)

So we’ve just been to our daughter’s dance performance. We were surprised as hubby and I doesn’t exactly have the dancing skills. She danced with friends from grades 4 and 3 classes, in different music – from Hard knock life to Jellicle cats to Ai Se Eu Te Pego. We were much more surprised to see her do a back to back cartwheel!

Supporting your daughter’s love for dancing can have numerous positive impacts on her life, including promoting her physical health, emotional well-being, creativity, and self-confidence.

• Encourage her by talking about dance: Talk to your daughter about her passion for dancing. Ask her about her goals, what styles of dance she enjoys, and why she loves it. This will help you understand her perspective and show that you’re genuinely interested in her interests.

• Enroll Her in Dance Classes: Enroll her in dance classes that align with her interests and skill level. Quality instruction can help her improve her technique and provide her with a structured environment to develop her skills

• Bring her to Class and Practices : It’s a big confidence booster to bring your daughter to class especially on the first day. If you can, do wait for her that whole session so she can tell you how the first day went. She would remember this for years ahead…how mom was there even on that first day. If there are practices outside classes, at a friend’s house for example, take her too. It’s so she wouldn’t be left behind.
  

• Attend Performances: Attend her dance performances, recitals, and competitions. Your presence in the audience will mean a lot to her and show that you value her efforts and dedication.
• Provide Proper Equipment: Ensure she has the appropriate dance attire, shoes, and accessories for her chosen style of dance. Having the right equipment can boost her confidence and help her perform at her best.
• Encourage Practice: Encourage her to practice regularly. Set aside a dedicated space at home where she can practice her dance moves and routines.
• Celebrate Achievements: Celebrate her achievements, whether they’re big or small. This could include nailing a challenging move, improving her flexibility, or receiving positive feedback from her dance instructor.

• Support Her Goals: If she expresses interest in pursuing dance more seriously, such as joining a dance company or attending a performing arts school, support her by researching opportunities and helping her prepare for auditions or applications.
• Expose Her to Various Styles: Introduce her to different styles of dance through videos, performances, or even by attending dance shows together. This can broaden her horizons and inspire her creativity.
• Create a Positive Environment: Foster a positive environment at home where she feels comfortable discussing her dance experiences, challenges, and successes. Offer encouragement and constructive feedback when appropriate.
• Connect with Other Dance Families: Connect with other parents and families whose children are also passionate about dancing. This can create a supportive community where you can exchange advice, share experiences, and attend events together.
• Provide Emotional Support: Dancing can sometimes be physically and emotionally demanding. Be there to provide emotional support during moments of frustration or disappointment. Remind her that setbacks are part of the learning process.
• Invest in Learning Resources: Invest in books, videos, or online tutorials related to dancing. This can give her opportunities to learn about the history of dance, different techniques, and choreography principles.

• Encourage Creativity: Encourage her to choreograph her own routines and express herself through dance. This can foster her creativity and give her a sense of ownership over her passion.

Dancing has wonderful benefits for kids, some as it offers a wide range of physical, emotional, and social benefits for girls (and people of all genders). So it is a good choice to have both as a hobby and how to be physically fit. Dancing is a highly engaging form of exercise that improves cardiovascular health, muscle strength, flexibility, and coordination. It helps girls develop strong and toned bodies while promoting overall fitness. It emphasizes proper posture, body alignment, and awareness of movement. This can lead to better posture, body control, and a heightened sense of body awareness in daily life.

Many dance styles involve stretching and movements that improve flexibility. This can reduce the risk of injuries and contribute to better overall physical health. Dance routines often include aerobic elements that elevate heart rate and improve cardiovascular endurance. Regular dancing can contribute to a healthy heart and lungs.

As kids improve their dance skills and master new moves, their self-confidence naturally increases. Performing in front of others, whether in a class or on stage, can boost self-esteem and self-assurance.

Dancing allows girls to express their emotions, ideas, and creativity through movement. It provides a unique and powerful way to communicate and share their feelings with the world. Dance classes and groups provide opportunities for girls to interact with peers who share similar interests. This can lead to the formation of friendships and a sense of belonging. So yeah, dancing is a wonderful hobby in many ways.
