Hawaii Dance Arts

Let’s talk about one of the best perks of dancing: gaining confidence!😄💪

When you hit the dance floor, you’re not just learning moves- you’re expressing yourself in ways words can’t. Every step, turn, and leap helps you discover more about who you are and what you’re capable of! 🌟

Dance lets you:
✨ Shine and be your true self
✨ Push your boundaries
✨ Build self-assurance with every performance

Looking for ways to boost your child’s confidence? You’re in the right place! 🙌

As we transition from our summer dance schedule to our fall schedule we just wanted to give you some reminders!

1. Change happens. Embrace it. We wish we could keep the schedule the same all the time, but teacher availability is #1 for setting our schedule.

2. Stay positive and encouraging! Encourage each other and remind your dancer of the exciting new goals and opportunities that come with the fall season!

3. Organize and plan ahead! Get your dance necessities ready for class 🩰🎒

Let’s kick off this fall season with energy and enthusiasm!!!💃🏽

Why is dance education important?
Research and antidotal evidence indicates that dance education contributes to students physical, social, and emotional well-being, providing physical awareness and fitness, an outlet for creative and personal expression, and a means to develop social-emotional skills, such as self management, relationship skills and responsible decision making. Students who study dance develop 21st-century skills such as collaboration, communication, and creativity. Dance also has been shown to positively affect students’ attitudes, perceptions, and values. Dance provides different perspectives. Through dance children experience enhanced sensory awareness, cognition, and consciousness. It is this heightened state that creates the magic of movement that is dance. - National Dance Education Organization
