From generation to generation, dance has always been an intriguing and entertaining form of expression. From ballroom dancing to break dancing, the artistry and discipline involved in dance has captivated and inspired people from all ages and cultures worldwide. American media shows like Dancing with the Stars, So You Think You Can Dance, and America’s Best Dance Crew are only a few examples of how this art form truly amuse and captivate audiences on a large scale.

As we know, kids love to dance, especially the children we see. During our Fit Club program, coaches and interns often catch participants from the Newport-Mesa and Santa Ana Unified School District dancing for recreation. And often, we allow them to.

Here are some benefits of dance:

  • It is a great form of exercise.
  • It improves overall posture and balance.
  • It helps build confidence.
  • It is social, providing opportunities to interact and cooperate with others.
