It’s fall and that means time to sign your kids up for fall activities. When you and your child sit down to chat about all of the great activities available to them, your family should consider the long-term benefits that an activity can bring to your child.
Dance and Baton Twirling is known to help children with their physical fitness, socialization, education and self-esteem (Livestrong, 2014).
Both dance and baton twirling help students with both cardiovascular fitness and muscle tone and strengthening. If your teacher isn’t talking about core strength then have a chat with them! Most classes should have a component of stretching and strengthening and this focus helps your child to develop a strong, healthy body!
Dancers & Twirlers are often known for their excellent character traits such as being goal-oriented, ability to time manage multiple activities and tasks and being flexible. These are highly sought after skills in the workplace and putting your child in an environment where they are around other “like-minded” individuals helps them to develop a network of supportive friends that will help them reach their goals.
Study after study has shown the academic benefits of dance. Dancers and twirlers develop discipline, focus and creativity which are all predictors of academic success.
All of the things that we have discussed help dancers and twirlers develop a strong self-esteem that guides them towards life success!
