The Benefits of Ballet for Children

Strength and fitness

Ballet is an excellent form of aerobic activity and muscle toning. In children it develops a strong, lean and fit body for life.

Artistry

Being able to express yourself through dance is one of the most joyful gifts to give a child.

Focus and concentration

Memorising exercises and performing them, listening to the teacher and learning the movements and understanding your body all help to focus a child’s mind on a specific task.

Elegance and grace

Ballet maintains the good posture we have as children and builds strong core muscles so that the body can operate gracefully and effectively in all situations.

Self-confidence

Working towards examinations and performing in competitions and shows develops self-confidence in children as they achieve together in dance.
