Dance, even if you have nowhere to do it but your living room. - Mary Smith

Uncoordinated
Children - Should They
Kidshealth graphic Dance?

There is no question that exercise is good for growing children, and the earlier they start, the better. But should you encourage an uncoordinated child to take up dancing? It's important to remember that it's OK if children are not interested in certain sports as long as they pursue activities that help them stay physically fit. The key is finding activities they like to do, that are fun, and that get them moving! And don't overlook 


the other benefits your child will be receiving from exercise - including learning to share, making friends, and developing self-esteem.

What Parents Can Do

Try to concentrate on your child's successes, rather than her failures. Your child may not be able to swim well, but may be a terrific skater and basketball player. Praise what they do well and provide plenty of opportunities for them to succeed. Introduce new activities, especially if they show interest. Try to attend your child's performances & meets as much as possible to encourage them and provide support.

The Recital - Highland Reels


Recital GraphicDetails for the recital are being finalized. The location we were planning on is on strike, so it’s back to the beginning!

The recital will occur in the first two weeks in June. All dancers will participate, and dancers 


above the beginner level will have several dances.

The theme for this year’s performance is Highland Reels - A night at the movies. Dancers are already working hard and preparing a great show.
