If you have a little one, you know how much energy they can have. You also know they sometimes let out energy in ways that test your patience. If this sounds like your little three- or four-year-old, The St. Laurent School of Dance of Honolulu, HI, can help. Along with the many other benefits of dance classes, enrolling your child can improve their behavior and focus.

Firstly, when a child has another adult to answer to other than their parents, they tend to act differently — sometimes for the better and sometimes not. At The St. Laurent School of Dance, however, teachers instill a sense of discipline right from the beginning. Not only do the dance classes encourage students to listen to the instructions of the teacher, but the amount of time needed to practice also builds up your child’s self-discipline.

But maybe discipline is not what your child is struggling with. Perhaps they just need a little help staying focused. Because dance classes are an individual endeavor, as well as a team effort, the only person responsible for executing the steps and moves perfectly is your child. Even if they miss a few steps here and there in their ballet, tap or jazz class, the focus required by your child to pay attention to the instructions of the dance class is highly beneficial.

If you’re interested in signing your child up for dance classes, call the professionals at The St. Laurent School of Dance at (808) 845-1291. The school employs only the most qualified instructors who are dedicated to instilling discipline and focus in students — all while having fun, of course!
