Dance is a way for teens to have a positive and creative outlet while having fun
With all the pressures and expectations of being a teenager in high school, it’s easy for a teen to lose focus and experience any number of typical teenage problems.
Navigating these years can be challenging and it’s easy for teens to get off track andstart misbehaving, becoming depressed or hanging with the wrong crowd. Their grades may suffer or they become introverted and start getting in trouble, but as frustrated as this time may be for both parents and teens, participating in fun and creative activities can help turn the situation around.
Dance is one of those activities that can help accomplish that while also bringing other positive benefits to their lives. Teens today often feel insecure, lacking confidence and self-esteem and striving to fit into a social group. In dance class, everyone is on equal ground because they are in a class with those who are at their dance skill level and more importantly, they are there to have fun. This means the dance studio is the perfect opportunity for your teen to meet new friends that share a common interest.
There are other stresses in high school, including a lot of homework and pressures to be thin and in shape. Taking dance is a great way to relieve stress through healthy exercise and learning the proper nutrition needed to be a dancer will help them to become fit and healthy in the proper way.
And because dance is such a social activity, they will have the opportunity to perform with their dance group in studio or in competition. This will help them to build confidence in themselves and develop a positive self image.
