Kids and Teen Classes
Teachers at Rio Dance Studio have met all government requirements and hold a current Working with Children Check Card issued by the Department of Justice & Regulation, Victoria.
Introducing your children to dance, especially at a young age, has a variety of health, physical and mental benefits. Dancing is an aerobic form of exercise. Apart from improving cardiovascular health, learning to dance improves posture, co-ordination, flexibility, muscle tone, stamina and balancing skills. Social skills are strengthened through meeting new dancing friends and working together as a team. Presenting them with opportunities to perform their new skills for shows or examinations teaches kids about achieving goals and aids the development of self-confidence.
At Rio Dance Studio we teach children from 5 + and offer three separate classes grouped by age.
Mini Ones (aged 5-7) We introduce our Mini Ones to rhythm learning techniques to help develop their musical ear. Teaching them to repeat basic beats with foot patterns also develops coordination and good memory skills. Of course, there’s also an emphasis on having a lot of fun as they learn to dance to some of their favourite kid friendly tunes!
Kids (aged 8-12) In these classes our Kids are presented with stronger patterns to help develop concentration and see details. Developing body strength, coordination and flexibility is key to their development. Dance lessons build self-confidence and helps nurture their creativity.
Teens (aged 13-17) Presented with advanced patterns our Teens delve deeper into learning stronger techniques, forming a solid base for any future dancing. Focusing on stamina, strength, flexibility and coordination is key to handling complicated patterns which require speed and an inner sense of balance and control. Learning that goals are achieved with dedication and perseverance provides teens with good life lessons. Dancing shapes and provides a platform for adulthood giving teens a greater sense of confidence and good social skills.
