What does a dance education offer?
Dance education is aimed at developing well-disciplined, intelligent, graceful, and physically fit young people who may go on to professional careers or may choose to apply their dance education in other fields. Dance training develops discipline, concentration, alertness, and body control, which aids in scholastic endeavors and personal growth. Carriage, body lines, coordination, grace, style, technique, artistry – the benefits that a dance education can bring are unlimited. Whatever goals a student may have, correct instruction is an absolute necessity. It must never be sacrificed for speed-up methods or cut-rate charges. The risks are too great.
