The Benefits of Dancing in Early Childhood – Toddler
Benefits of Dancing with Your Child
Physical Health
Dancing can be great for you and your child’s physical health! It can aid in
building muscle, strengthening bones, and can increase flexibility. Dancing can
also be helpful in managing stress and teach self-regulation
Skill Development
Your child’s motor and cognitive development could benefit from dancing
regularly to music. This can help your child practice memorization,
understanding rhythm, coordination, and spatial awareness.
Music Appreciation
Moving to new music gives children the opportunity to be exposed to
something different. This can help them gain an appreciation for different
cultures and genres and hear different types of rhythmic patterns in music.
