Dance and movement forms an integral part of children's holistic development and with regular practice, it can increase our children's flexibility, range of motion, physical strength and stamina. It can also improve the muscle tone, correct poor posture, increase balance and co-ordination and improve overall cardiovascular health. Dance also promotes psychological health and maturity, foster social encounter, interaction, co-operation and cognitive development.

Dance also helps children develop literacy. The dance teacher here had shown the photo of a spider to the toddler and children and together we sang "Itsy Bitsy Spider" and dance like a spider. The verbal language and movement are entwined. We got to learn the language and the dance together by forming the communication.
