Why get your son in dance?
Not only are dancers described by the words beautiful and graceful, all dancers are strong and athletic. After all, not everyone can land from a huge leap in the air as quietly as a dancer (male or female) - and it’s definitely not magic. Not only that, how many men do you know who can lift a female straight armed above their head while she’s wearing a tutu?
Dance is the art of movement and it celebrates theatrical performance. Ballet isn’t a creative space reserved for girls, boys are bursting through stereotypes all across the globe and express themselves through ballet, too!
Here are some benefits of putting your son in ballet:
Benefit #1: Improve Physical Fitness
Ballet utilizes all muscle groups, so your son will come out of ballet class stronger with a better sense of balance. Ballet even helps refine skills used in other sports. https://www.sikids.com/from-the-mag/twinkle-toes-nfl
Benefit #2: Promote Self-Expression
Who doesn’t love a child who can handle their own emotions and let them out in a healthy way? Ballet helps dancers have a creative outlet for all emotions.
Benefit #3: Explore More Opportunities
Dance is dominated by women. Less competition means more opportunities for boys! If your boy ends up loving dance, they have a better chance of getting a scholarship to college, better roles on stage and even the potential to star a career in dance!
Benefit #4: Good Posture
After hours in front of a screen, ballet class helps develop correct everyday posture.
Benefit #5: Social
It is good to meet people with common interests and passions.
Benefit #6: Confidence
Ballet gives dancers an opportunity to perform elegant, sometimes tough choreography either in front of peers or an audience - this gives a great boost to self-confidence!
