It’s summer! If you’re a parent, this probably means you’ve been looking for the perfect activity to keep your child busy. It’s not too late to start a fun-filled summer of exercise and learning by enrolling them in a dance class. Boys and girls of all ages can benefit from the structure, self-expression and discipline they’ll gain at our dance academy. Here are 3 reasons why there’s no better time than summer to get started.   

1. More Time for Fun

Summer days are free from the stresses of the school year. Homework is on hiatus, school sports are over and your child has the time and mental space to try something new. Don’t miss this unique opportunity to expand their horizons. Even if your child normally prefers organized sports or STEM activities, they’ll find that dance engages the brain and the body in a fun and satisfying way.

2. Staying Busy and Active

Don’t let the relaxed time constraints of summer lead to a lull in physical activity. Studies indicate that children are more likely to gain weight over the summer than other times of the year. But that doesn’t mean your first-grader needs to hit the gym. Exercise should be fun for kids—and adults—to keep them coming back for more.  

3. Learning a New Skill

Parents know how important it is to keep their kids’ minds active even during the summer. Workbooks and summer classes are one way to do that, but learning a new skill like dance will keep their brains active, too. Dance has also been shown to benefit math scores.

Check out our dance academy today to enroll your child in a summer dance class they’ll never forget. It might be the beginning of something wonderful.
