Dance lessons are great at any age for many reasons

Some of these are:
- Kids learn the value of discipline, commitment and work ethic.
- Self-confidence is boosted especially when the child learns to master technique and overcome goals set.
- Children learn about music and rhythm and make use of both sides of their brain when dancing. This helps with academic performance as well.
- Studies have shown that dancing gives adolescent girls better capabilities to handle issues facing them at their age.
- Keeping fit. Dancers need to be fit to be able to master the moves they make.
- Dancing also improves flexibility and agility.
- Dance lessons teach children valuable life skills such as taking turns, sharing attention and working in teams.

Boys also benefit from dance classes as it improves their physical abilities in other sports too. Dance and music releases feel-good hormones and who doesn’t like to shake to a good song! So it’s not only good for your physique but for your mental health as well. Adults may feel young again by moving and mastering complex dance moves. Imagine being able to dance your heart out at a family function where everyone is surprised! Dance is an art which is learned from many cultures and so teaches children about different cultures.
