In today's society, obesity is becoming an ever increasing problem.  Gone are the days when it was just the adults who had weight issues, now many of our children are suffering the same fate.  Exercise is critical to all of our healths and welfare, and creating an active leisure lifestyle is paramount when it comes to helping our children maintain healthy weights.

Dance is a form of physical exercise that can be enjoyed by all no matter what ability.  Dance is a socialisation process that can help to make new friends.  Dance is a skill that can be taught and will last a lifetime.  Dance is a positive way of expressing ourselves.

Dance is fun!

     *Build your muscle strength and flexibility through regular movement.

     *Develop a sense of balance, improve agility & co-ordination with regular      practice.

     *Realise body awareness & learn correct posture whilst perfecting the moves.

     *Increase your mental capacity & Improve your memory learning & remembering the routines.

     *Enhance your social skills through interaction with the other members.

     *Foster teamwork & communication skills whilst dancing within the group. 

Participation in performances and regular rehearsals teach our children many valuable lessons, not least of which are focus and self-discipline.  A strong commitment is needed to attend each and every rehearsal, and to take part in that rehearsal to the very best of ability, and then further to practice at every opportunity.

We allow all our members to give input to our routines, and regularly offer the chance for the members to choreograph a routine which sparks the imagination and nurtures the individual creativity of all the members.

Dance will teach our children the basic elements of timing, rhythm & space.  Everybody has a natural desire to move when they hear music that appeals to them, dance channels that desire to move rhythmically

Being part of a dance team will improve our childrens self-esteem.  A confidence will emerge over time as the routines begin to become a natural movement.  A feeling of being worthy, a pride in their achievement will follow into all aspects of our children's daily lives.

The interaction with the other members of the group will aid with behavioural issues.  Our children will learn to trust other members as they themselves will become trusted. They will realise that everyone within the group matters and not just the principal dancers, and come to value themselves alongside valuing others.

It has always been thought that hobbies and interests are a healthy addition to school life for our children.  They are a great way to relax and relieve stress, and provide a positive influence in a safe & secure enviroment.  The lessons learnt in childhood will last a lifetime so all the more reason to ensure that the lessons taught are the right ones!
