It is through dancing with others that children can quickly learn to work within the group dynamic. Movement becomes more than just fun – it becomes the road to communication, fostering both social interaction and cooperation. Structured dance, such as what we often enjoy together in Kindermusik, or free dance, which is easy to enjoy together at home, allows for creative self-expression while also giving the children the opportunity to learn how they understand themselves in relation others.
Tips for parents: Make it a family dance night – even just a couple of numbers will do! Start by making a list of some of your favorite “move-to-it” music selections. Choose from your own library or try something new from play.kindermusik.com. Then forget everything else and just have fun! The joy of dancing together will benefit not just your child, but all who are involved.
