The influence of dance on early learning

As a parent, you’ll know that early learning has many benefits for your children’s development.

Whether you’ve signed them up for toddler dance classes or ballet lessons for your seven-year-old, you’ll be amazed at the difference these activities can make.

Benefits of early learning

Learning through dance and play

Children learn best when they’re having fun. It helps keep them focused on the activity and learning valuable lessons.

Here at Tiny Toes Ballet, we understand that children learn about the world through play. Many research studies have investigated how providing plenty of early play helps your child physically, socially, and mentally develop.

It encourages babies, toddlers, and young children to learn to solve problems, focus and remember things. It also encourages them to develop their communication skills and works to fuel their imagination.
