What are the benefits for students at Dance Works.

Certainly there is physical development: coordination, conditioning, strength, grace, and control. There is also intellectual and emotional skills: concentration, discipline, responsibility, communication, cultural awareness, consideration of others, and team work. The most important benefit however is achievement. Why? All through life your child will be presented with opportunities to succeed or fail. Everyone fears failure, but you must have the confidence to seize the opportunity to succeed. Confidence comes from past achievement. Once a child achieves they are confident they can achieve again. More importantly the child learns that success does not come with every attempt and that some failure is part or the learning process. The greatest success requires persistence and preparation to overcome the greatest obstacles. Your child can learn that with hard work (preparation and persistence) they can achieve. Their achievement will build their self confidence, and self confidence will encourage them to achieve in all their activities: school, work, recreation, government, and relationships.

Preparation, Examination, Performance. Three components for achievement and self confidence.

How does Dance Works contribute to your child’s achievement (success) in life?

Preparation (classes)

Your child will be placed in a class level where they more likely to achieve based on their current ability. Dance exercises will be challenging requiring, strength, control of posture, balance, coordination, and timing. The student learns to listen and execute complicated instructions. During each class there is opportunity to achieve and observe that there is more to learn. The student first learns simple movements and positions that are later incorporated into more complicated exercises and dances. Over the course of many classes students learn that repetition and persistence (hard work) leads to achievement and that success is rarely immediate. Learning the RAD ballet syllabus is the core of the Dance Works program. From beginner to pre-professional there are more than 15 levels of classes. It ensures the credibility of the training for the student and family and tells them level the student has achieved.
