When it comes to signing your child up for activities, we know you’ve got tons of options! We may be biased, but we think dance is one of the best activities in Augusta. We’d love to tell you about what your child gains when you sign them up for one of our weekly dance classes at Dance Unlimited! 

5 Surprising Benefits of Dancing With Us This Fall:

1. Creativity

While dancing is incredibly athletic, it is primarily a performing art. Our students learn how to express ideas and emotions while making music come to life. In a typical school day, most students use their logical and analytical skills disproportionately to their artistic, emotional, or imaginative skills. We love watching our students flex their creative muscles in our classes!

2. Social Skills

Dance friends are the best friends! Many of our students can thank DU for giving them some of their closest friendships. Spending time with family at home is important, but after-school activities are one of the best ways for kids to make friends and become social butterflies. Sign your child up for dance class and they may even meet their greatest life-long friend! 

3. Discipline

One of the biggest jobs of educators and parents is to teach children how to be productive and responsible members of society. They learn this by following through on commitments, following rules, and learning how to work hard in order to meet their goals. Dance class teaches them all of those skills! They make a commitment to their class and use teamwork to perfect their dance for recital. They become responsible for their dress code, costumes, and remembering their recital choreography. AND they work hard to perfect their skills in class. 

4. Confidence

Each and every year, we see dance work wonders for our students’ self esteem and confidence. Moving your body and performing in front of other can feel vulnerable, so pushing through fears and insecurities can really help a child learn how to step out of their comfort zone. Not to mention performing on stage, which will light your child up in ways you’ve never seen before! By signing your child up for dance class, you’re giving them a confidence boost that will trickle into whatever they tackle next.

5. Stress Relief

After long days at school, kids need a chance to get up and moving! That’s why participating in activities in Augusta is so important. Joining us as we dance and groove to our favorite tunes will be a sure way for your child to release endorphins every single week. We have loads of fun in class, which goes a long way during a child’s school week.

Whether we have a year full of cheer, or a year full challenges, there are a few things that stay on our list no matter what. Family, food, shelter… and of course, DANCE!!! Dance is one of those things that we just can’t live without around here. We are eternally grateful for what it brings to our lives, and this Thanksgiving season, we’d love to tell you WHY!

3 Reasons Why We Are Thankful for Dance:

1. Stress Relief

There’s a reason why this one is at the top of our list… it IS the year 2020 isn’t it?! While dealing with the stressors that this year brought, it was easy to be thankful for the stress relief that dance provides. We are certain that our students felt the same way! 

At Dance Unlimited, our instructors notice when students arrive at dance class with stiff bodies and stressed faces. We tend to think of ourselves as experts at fixing that! Watching them slowly let loose and leave class relaxed makes our hearts VERY happy! 

2. Community Building

Dance has not only given us joy throughout the years, but it’s also given us the chance to build and contribute to our community. Our dance studio in Augusta has been providing dance classes for 20 years and counting, giving us the opportunity to watch as kids quite literally grow up dancing at our studio. Dancers laugh, work as a team, and make lifelong friendships within our studio doors year after year.

3. Endless Endorphins! 

Any activity that elevates your heart rate releases endorphins, a chemical which creates happy emotions in the brain. Endorphins are magical… and let’s just say that most dancers have PLENTY of them! Check out this awesome article that explains the scientific effects that dance has on the human body! 

Ultimately, dancing is SO much fun! We are grateful to have something that we can always rely on for positivity, no matter what negativity is occurring in the world around us. We make it our mission to provide that same positivity to our students each week!

Year after year, we must always say thank you for dance! We hope that sharing this list helps all of our dancers reflect on why they love dance as much as we do. 

While we absolutely ADORE dancing, there’s one more thing that makes our gratitude list every single Thanksgiving: our DU Families! YOU are the reason why we are able to do what each day, and for that we are so grateful. 

Happy Thanksgiving from all of us here at Dance Unlimited! We are thankful for YOU!
