Benefits of Dance for Kids

A study by the American Medical Association showed that dance lessons for adolescent girls resulted in more positive thoughts and gave them more confidence in themselves after dancing, especially in structured dance classes that focused on enjoyment rather than perfection and performance. We certainly all want that for our young students.

The dance lessons at the Dance Institute in Denver do prepare kids for performance as well, as they regularly perform at retirement homes, community events, fundraisers and an annual recital. The routines our dancers are taught require elongated movements and full extensions. Not only will this help our young students develop strong bodies to support them in all their activities, again, it helps them perfect their craft and feel more confident when performing outside of our classroom.

In addition to all these benefits, it’s well-known that dance lessons for kids improve over-all physical health; cardiovascular performance, muscular strength, endurance and more.

Benefits of Dance for Adults

Remember, dance classes aren’t just for kids. We offer adult dance classes at our Denver location as well. Dance Institute teaches adult dance classes in tap, ballet and more. Studies show that dance greatly helps range of motion, motor skills and promotes the free movement of joints. The adult dance classes at our Denver studio can do all this and more.

Dance classes can strengthen muscles and improve balance, significantly decreasing the chance of falls or injuries for older adults. Brain scans on adult recreational dancers have also shown that they experience less age-related deterioration than non-dancing seniors.

How We Differ from Other Studios

At the Dance Institute in Denver, we allow parental viewing of classes as well as parental involvement. We also offer combination dance classes, allowing students to learn and experience several different types of dance without the expense of multiple classes. Here, we offer hip hop dance classes, ballet dance classes and tap-dancing classes. If you or your young one starts in one type of dance lesson, and wants to try others, we offer the ability for them to do so. Our dance classes for kids as well as our adult dance classes, allow all ages to visit our Denver location and learn and grow in their respective fields of dance.
