Dance is a very creative form of art. When looking for a dance school for your child you should choose a dance school that encourages creativity. When a student is passionate about dancing they can be creative and it will make them a great performer.

Schools that foster creativity summon the best from your child, giving them the tools to express themselves with dance. This form of art develops creativity.

There a various ways a school can foster creativity:

Games: The teacher can create a lesson that would make students enjoy dancing. Games can often make dancing very enjoyable and at the same time the students will learn something from it. Students would look forward to lessons when they include games and enjoy learning many new skills.

Competitions: There's a little bit of competitiveness in all of us and it's very healthy when kept at the right level. As well as generating incentive to learn more and develop new skills, competitiveness teaches children to be winners. The right teacher is able to keep this in check and ensure that young students are not stressed by competition.

Acting: acting in the form of mime is an integral part of dance. In fact mime is how a dance can tell a story or show emotion. Mime is a special form of acting that young children especially enjoy. When they learn how to do this they will bring out creativity in their dancing.

If you want to help your child to be a better dancer they need to be creative.

Motivation: motivating students will help them learn quickly. Students need motivation in order for them to focus on the task and learning is much easier for them when they are being motivated.

Concentration: Short concentration spans are common and easily overcome by using a variety of learning aids and methods. The skills they will learn will enable them to concentrate and improve their memories throughout their lives.

Stopping boredom: Another problem with younger students is that they are easily bored. Bringing a good selection of different ways to learn will prevent this from happening and result in them learning more. When their interest is kept alive they will look forward to their dance lessons.

Ensuring that creativity is part of the dance curriculum is difficult. To start with it is best to meet the teachers of the dance school. You can look over the school curriculum and see what sort of creative tools are being used by the teachers. It is also good that your child meets the teachers and sees the school, so that you will see how they react to the new environment.
