More About Dance . . .
Dance is a fun and efficient form of exercise that allows children to develop in many areas including muscle strength, increased flexibility and improved aerobic capacity. Dance education allows children to develop gross motor co-ordination and fine motor skills that can be utilised to control the largest and smallest muscle groups of their bodies.
In turn, dance training assists in the cognitive development of children. Dancing improves memory, develops spatial awareness, and allows children the opportunity to develop social skills and problem-solving skills. Through dance classes, students also develop musicality, self-expression and are encouraged to explore their own creativity.
Your child is not only learning to dance, but they are also receiving physical, mental, social, and emotional benefits. They are developing valuable life skills that will benefit them in their daily lives.

What to expect at DanceIt
DanceIt Studios is home to over 120 students of all ages across our two branches. Monday to Saturday provide a jam-packed schedule, making the studio a very busy and exciting place to be. It is important to know the class and time upon arrival. While your child is in their dance class, we encourage you to take the time to get something you need done or even take some time off on us, while we handle the vigilant care of your child. Please know that parents/siblings/family and friends are typically not allowed in the classroom, this will be allowed for the last lesson of every month for classes applicable to the ages 11 & under.
We find children achieve better learning outcomes and get the most from their dance classes when they are separated from their parents. Having a parent or guardian, siblings or friends nearby can often be a distraction to your child or others. Separation from parents allows children to develop independence, focus on learning tasks, and helps them to develop their social skills. For many children, this newfound independence can be exciting, however, we understand that parent separation can be challenging for some children. Tears sometimes happen, it can be a big step to enter dance class alone for some children. Our teachers and assistants will do their best to comfort your child and motivate them to participate, but it may take time for them to get comfortable. For some children, it may take a few lessons before they feel comfortable.
We have wonderful staff, teachers and assistant teachers who are committed to ensuring your child has a wonderful dance experience. While they are in class with us, we will do our best to make sure all your child’s needs are attended to. However, after their class finishes, our teachers and assistants typically move on to another group of children.
