 Benefits of dancing with your child

• Spending quality time with your child.
• Builds strength, endurance, balance, flexibility.
• Improves coordination.
• Teaches rhythm and music awareness.

When you come to the Mommy & Me class to dance with your kids you get all of the benefits listed above plus you get to meet new people and learn new techniques. You as a mom (or dad) are getting as much out of the class as your child is. I believe this social aspect for the parent is one of the most important parts of the class. Moms of young children need support and being surrounded by other moms is a great way to be encouraged and enjoy the time with your child.

For most kids this will be one of their first experiences in a social setting and they will learn how to take turns and how to participate in group activities. They will also meet new friends in a loving, caring, and fun environment.
