Summer dance classes are great for all levels of experience, from the very beginner recreational dancer who has never stepped foot in a studio, to the seasoned competition dancer, and there is something for everyone in between!
Whether signing up for an intensive or a week-long dance camp, or trying out a hip-hop class, learning new tricks in an acro class, fun character themed classes, pom classes, stretch class, progressing ballet techniques, and more, there are benefits for all when you sign up for Summer Dance Classes.
For the Recreational Dancer:
For young beginners, summer dance classes are a great way for parents to foster trying new activities. There are those enthusiastic little ones who want to try everything from dance to gymnastics to soccer to art classes, scouts, and more. And there are also the more cautious little ones who want to try things but take longer to warm up to actually doing it. During this time when little ones are still discovering which kinds of activities they love, short summer dance sessions for recreational students are designed to be a FUN experience without a long-term commitment. Parents will often choose 2 or 3 short sessions with different themes to extend the fun throughout the summer.
A few of the benefits from summer dance sessions for recreational dancers are:
- It’s a fun opportunity to continue developing social skills and make friends.
- An increase in coordination and confidence.
- It introduces fun ways to incorporate new fitness activities.
- It’s a great boredom buster throughout the summer and balances other activities without consuming too much time.
- Especially when there are older siblings involved in summer activities, it’s a great way for the younger ones to have their own activity to attend and feel proud of.
- It’s fun they look forward to!
