Benefits of Irish Dance
- Irish Dance is different from other sports because dancers may compete as part of a team, individually or both! In addition, dancers who choose to be a part of the performance troupe learn the difference in just dancing versus presenting a professional, polished show.
- Confidence – the more time a dancer spends on stage, the more confident they become.
- Stamina - have you ever tried to do one step of Irish dance? Imagine practicing several hours at a time, several days a week!
- Social Skills – dancers quickly make friends in class as well as the other activities KBS offers
- Coordination – kids with “two left feet” will develop into beautiful dancers.
- Mental Skills – dancers must listen and remember steps and patterns. Instructors teach sayings to help dancers to remember steps, which strengthens memorization skills.
- Timing and Rhythm – dancers understand how to listen to music, count beats, and dance with the music.
