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!
