Ballet has significant benefits for everyone, especially kids. One of the most important things we can do for our children is set them up for a healthy lifestyle. Ballet can be an excellent part of establishing a healthy lifestyle by giving them a good physical foundation.
What Are The Benefits Of Ballet For Kids?
Physical development and motor skills in children has been an important area of research and education for decades. As we have seen our culture become more sedentary, and battle obesity, researchers have looked at the impact of physical fitness on children.
It turns out that there is a correlation between motor skills development and physical fitness, and academic performance. While researchers are not sure why, they know there is a connection between the two.
In addition to overall physical fitness, the benefits of ballet for kids include:
- Improving and teaching good posture
- Developing good core strength and stability
