preschool dance class

There’s no better time to enroll your son or daughter in dance classes than when they are still in preschool. That’s the age kids are the most curious and will take to all the lessons they’re being taught. In addition to the physical benefits, there are many other reasons you should consider putting your child into dance classes early.

Why Should Your Toddler Be in Preschool Dance Classes?

If your child is around the age of four or five, they’re ready to join our kids’ dance classes in Maple. Just because they’re not in formal schooling yet doesn’t mean they can’t enjoy the many positive aspects of dance. Physically, the benefits are clear. Your child will be more active, more flexible, and full of energy. And they might actually be really good, too, which would be icing on the cake.

But there are other reasons for starting your son or daughter off early. They get exposed to co-operating with other children their age in a group setting. They learn the value of working together as a team, and to know the value of accountability. It’s another opportunity for you to bond with your child. Taking them to lessons, buying the outfits, it’s all part of an experience you’ll remember forever.

Things to Know Before Investing in Kids Dance Classes

As exciting as you are to get your kids into dance, there are a few things you should know before they start.

  • Choosing Dance Classes

    Remember this is something your child will have to commit to. If you feel they may be completely uncomfortable with dancing and being in that environment, don’t force it. Feel free to give it a try, and if your child seems to be really against it, don’t feel bad. There are other things they can do.

  • Dance Code of Toddler Dance Studio

    As we mentioned, this could be the fun part. Dancing shoes, leotards, and tights are all part of the outfit your preschooler will surely need. Some studios also require specific colours, so make sure to get clear details from the dance instructors before you do your shopping.

  • Remember Toddler Dance Classes are for Girls and Boys

    There’s no separating the bunch when working with toddlers. Both boys and girls will be dancing together in the same group. This is something you and your child need to be comfortable with right from the get-go.

  • Don’t Force Dance Studio to Participate Your Child

    Preschooler or not, it’s ultimately up to your child if they wish to participate or not. We will always encourage them to take part in all the activities, but if they are not feeling it, then we won’t push them too hard. We recommend taking a short break from classes and trying again in a few months. Maybe once they hear about how much fun their friends had, they’ll want to give it another shot.
