If your child is…
If you’ve ever observed your child and noticed that they seem wise beyond their years or more poised than other children their age, then this timeless style of dance may be perfect for them. Ballet is a style of dance that is well-known throughout the world and closely associated with sophistication, poise and beauty. We’re Dancin’ offers ballet classes that are perfect for the sophisticated child with classic tastes. If your child is enamored by princesses and loves fairytales, then they’re sure to feel like one as they learn to move gracefully in this classic dance style. Children that enjoy structure and order often excel at ballet due to the precise movements involved and the level of practice it requires.
The artsy child is usually one that stands out in a crowd and isn’t afraid to draw outside of the lines. If your child appreciates the underappreciated, dances to the beat of their own drum, and likes to stand out, then the fast-paced, bold movements of jazz might be right up their alley. This creative dance style is perfect for the child that likes to put their own spin on things. Even if your child is a little on the shy side, this lively style of dance has been known to help boost children’s confidence and help them come into their own.
Tap dance is perfect for the child with unmatched levels of energy. If your child is always on the move and seems like they never sit still, then tap dancing might be just the place to focus all of that energy. Tap dance is fun for children who love to create because it allows them to not only move, but also coordinate their movements with different tapping techniques to create a thrilling final product. If your child is energetic, but sometimes feels shy around others, then tap dance might be a good way to help them express themselves. Tap dance is a completely unique style of dance that is very appealing even for children who aren’t drawn to other styles of dance. Even if your child is inexperienced when it comes to dance, there are classes at We’re Dancin’ designed for every level of dancer, so they’ll be able to jump (or tap) right in!
If your child has an eclectic personality and likes to express themselves through different methods, then modern dance classes might be the right dance style for them! If your child has an eclectic personality, a lot of interests and enjoys a wide variety of musical genres then modern dance can be a great way for them to explore all of their tastes. Modern dance can be a fun and engaging way to introduce a child to dance if they are interested in dance but can’t decide where to start. Modern dance borrows influence from a variety of classic dance styles like ballet, so it is a great way to blend all of a child’s interests. Curious and eclectic children often love the freedom of expression that modern dance comes with and the creativity that it encourages.
If your child is known to always say what’s on their mind without holding back then they’re likely to appreciate the hip hop dance style. Hip hop is a great dance style for the bold child that loves being the life of the party. Hip hop is a dance style that encourages a bold attitude with every move and incorporates a lot of high-energy movements. Children often love the powerful music and spunky choreography that comes with the hip hop dance style. If your child doesn’t shy away from being the center of attention and loves to get the crowd going, then hip hop dance classes are ideal for them!
