Does dance really grow big brains? Well, not exactly – but it neuroscientists have proven that kinesthetics (movement) do stimulate the brain, and perhaps even the growth of new brain cells, particularly in children! According to neuropsychologist Eric Jensen, kinesthetic arts “contributes to the development and enhancement of critical neurobiological systems… including cognition.” This may be connected to the part of the brain that allows children to learn languages, for example, more readily than adults.

If you are parents of young children, it might interest you to know that psychologists and educators have long known that dancing benefits children’s development and education. Through employing dance, children not only learn the importance of exercising, but they also learn such things as coordination and discipline. Dancing also improves flexibility, stability, and memory!

These days, teachers and educators are always talking about empowering children and self-esteem. Well, dancing can boost your child’s self-esteem! Even beginners can wow their peers with moves learned early in their dance regimen, and working dance into their exercise plan will benefit their health for decades to come! Dancing also helps with socialization, and drives kids in a non-competitive setting.
