Ballet has a lot of physical, mental and social benefits for participants. Ballet helps to im-

prove mental and emotional health. The training in Ballet instils a sense of pride and ac-
complishment, which can boost self-esteem. As children improve and master more chal-

lenging movement combinations, they feel more self-assured, which can carry over into
other areas of their lives.

Ballet club helps foster teamwork, communication, trust and cooperation. Ballet can also
help to forge new friendships, overcome shyness or awkwardness in social situations and

reduce the fears associated with being in a group and performing in front of an audience.
Knowing how to memorise four combinations a week is handy when children need to re-
member math formulas for their class work.

Ballet dancers are asked to remember intricate routines, patterns and movements on a

weekly basis, and their training makes them top
of the class in memorising anything!

Furthermore, whether trying to conquer a chal-
lenging Ballet step or master a subject, dancers

understand that giving up isn’t an option.
One of the great things about Ballet performance
is its effectiveness at telling a story without words.

This sensation of communication through move-
ment doesn’t just work one way: it is just as excit-

ing learning to use your body to communicate as
it is for an audience on assembly days. Learning
Ballet is a fantastic creative way to help children

develop self-expression in new and exciting ways!
