Dance and movement

Dance offers an avenue for exploration, discovery, and the development of natural instincts for movement. Dance is a good exercise and an artistic expression of mind and body, for young children. Dance has many physical benefits, like, improved posture, development of muscle tone and strength, increased flexibility etc…..Dance is usually just fun.

Parents can start up with homemade rhythm instruments.
The main purpose of this activity is to have your child experience movement as it relates to music or rhythm. Play different types of music and allow your child to physically express how the music makes him feel. He might hop and jump on fast music, bounce on happy music, march for a parade tune, and so on…You must always encourage your child to clap or hop in time to the beat.
