A Springboard for Success

Dance: A Springboard for Success

Finding an activity for your child is no small feat, but remember these activities can lead to teachable moments and lessons that can last a lifetime. Dance is certainly does, and I can say that wholeheartedly – I started dancing when I was just two years old!

Dance is truly more than just a fun activity; it’s a springboard for success in life. The skills and qualities developed through dance can have a lasting impact on children’s future.

  • Goal Setting and Achievement: Dance teaches children how to set goals and work towards achieving them. This skill is essential for success in school, careers, and personal relationships.
  • Resilience and Perseverance: Dance helps children develop resilience and perseverance. They learn to overcome challenges and setbacks, and keep striving for their goals.
  • Leadership and Teamwork: Dance often involves group work, which teaches children the importance of leadership, teamwork, and cooperation. These skills are essential for success in both personal and professional life.
  • Time Management: Dance classes require children to manage their time effectively and balance their commitments. This skill is crucial for success in school and work.
  • Confidence and Self-Esteem: Dance can boost children’s confidence and self-esteem. As they learn new skills and perform on stage, they gain a sense of accomplishment and pride.

I have used the these skills in my everyday life, not just as an educator or a studio owner, but as a student running for student government, captain of my cheer team, and was able to take these tools into job interviews, and so many more experiences too.

By choosing dance for you child, you are investing in their future success. Dance provides a joyful foundation for personal growth and development, and prepares children for the challenges and opportunities that lie ahead.

How Dance Empowers Your Child

In a world that often focuses on external validation, dance offers a unique opportunity for children to develop a strong sense of self-worth from within. At Reach for the Barres, we believe that the dance floor is a canvas for self-expression, where every movement, every pose, contributes to building confidence and self-esteem.

⭐ Body Positivity & Self-Acceptance

Our nurturing environment at Reach for the Barres encourages children to appreciate and embrace their bodies for what they can do, rather than solely how they look. Mastering challenging steps, improving flexibility, and gaining strength cultivate a sense of pride and accomplishment. This positive relationship with their physical selves fosters body positivity and self-acceptance, crucial elements of overall well-being.✨

At RFTB, we provide a supportive and encouraging atmosphere where children can overcome these obstacles and instill a sense of resilience and determination. They learn that with effort and practice, they can achieve their goals, boosting their confidence in their abilities both on and off the dance floor.✨

⭐ Performance & Self-Presentation

Performing in front of an audience, whether in a recital or a local showcase, is a thrilling experience that can significantly boost self-confidence. At RFTB, we prepare our students to manage stage fright, project their personalities, and connect with the audience at our annual recital at the Wilshire Ebell Theatre. This experience builds self-assurance and the ability to present themselves confidently in various situations.✨

⭐ Social Connection & Support

Our dance classes at Reach for the Barres create a supportive community where children can connect with peers who share their passion.
