Bharatanatyam is one of India’s oldest classical dance forms. While it is a wonderful way to enjoy movement and self-expression, there are so many more benefits for children learning dance. From improved physical development to better social skills, here’s why you should enroll your child in dance lessons.
1 – It builds physical coordination and flexibility
Bharatanatyam teaches children to work on precise footwork, hand gestures, and body postures. This helps them develop balance, strength, and agility – which are not just vital to nurture great dancers but also contribute to their over motor development.
2 – It nurtures cognitive growth
Bharatanatyam involves memorizing complex dance sequences, rhythmic patterns, and intricate stories, all of which can significantly enhance a child’s memory, concentration, and problem-solving abilities. It also fosters creativity and critical thinking, as children are encouraged to understand and express various emotions and stories through their movements.
3 – It gives children an opportunity to build social skills
Bharatanatyam classes give valuable opportunities for young children to build teamwork and discipline. Thanks to the collaborative nature of group rehearsals and performances, children learn the importance of working together towards a common goal. Additionally, the structured environment of dance classes helps build self-discipline and time management skills.
