dance and movement - antidotes to modern childhood?
Studies show that screen time and sedentary childhoods lead to poor motor development, balance, and fine motor skills. Missing these milestones in brain development can have dramatic effects - this is one reason we're seeing so many children with self-regulation and executive functioning issues.
As an art form, neurologically appropriate creative dance helps train young children in the concepts of movement, sequencing, coordination, and spatial relationships, laying a strong foundation for development of reading, mathematics, and problem solving.
In 25 years of teaching creative dance in Spain, South Africa and the US, I've seen children PreK to high school gain self-confidence and find joy in self-expression, and mature holistically into active learners.
