5 Benefits of Enrolling Your Child in Summer Dance Classes at Mary Lorraine's Dance Center

Summer break is a time for kids to explore new activities, keep up on skills, and stay active. Summer dance classes at Mary Lorraine's Dance Center can provide this for your child and so much more! Here are a few reasons why parents should consider summer dance classes for their child:

1. Keeps them Active 

During summer vacation, kids often escape the summer heat by spending too much time indoors on their screens. Dance classes offer a structured way (in the air conditioning) to keep them physically active. Regular movement helps boost overall wellbeing and keeps them from feeling sluggish.

2. Maintains and Grows Their Skills

Dance classes during summer allow dancers to keep up on the progress they've made in their yearly dance class. Three months without any dance is too long for dancers to not work on their skills. Summer dance classes allow them to maintain their flexibility, strength, and knowledge of technique. It can also give them the opportunity to further develop their dancing. This will help boost their confidence for classes in the fall too. 

3. Allows Them to Try Something New!

Summer dance is a great time to try a new class. Perhaps your child takes ballet but wants to give hip hop a try! With MLDC’s six week summer dance session, your student can get a feel for the class and decide if they want to continue without a year-long commitment. 

4. Provides Opportunities for Newbies at Mary Lorraine's Dance Center

Summer dance is the perfect time to start dancing if you are a late beginner or returning after taking time off. This gives dancers time to refresh and regain skills they may have lost in their time off. Classes are also a little smaller in the summer as many students are away on vacation. This means more individualized feedback and stronger relationships with friends and teachers in the class. 

5. Enhances their Summer experience

Summer is a time when dance teachers do exciting new material for their classes. Without a recital to prepare for, teachers will often introduce dancers to new styles, fun combinations, partner work, improvisation exercises and more! 

At Mary Lorraine's Dance Center, summer dance classes are a 6-week session, with a week-long break for Independence Day. During the summer, MLDC offers ballet, jazz, tap, contemporary dance, musical theater jazz, hip hop, barre fitness, and more! These dance classes are for all ages.
