“Great artists are people who find the way to be themselves in their art.” - Margot Fonteyn, English Ballerina
Dance is a bridge between our thoughts, feelings, and our physical bodies. Dance helps explore oneself through movement that unifies mind, body, and soul, and helps explore and gain an appreciation of cultures from around the world.
Dance provides physical benefits of improved strength, stamina, flexibility, and coordination. Dance offers numerous mental and emotional benefits as well, such as improved self-confidence, reduced stress, increased social interaction opportunities, improved concentration, improved memory recall, improved focus, better mind body coordination, and creative opportunities for self expression.

“Music brings us pleasure and releases our suffering. It can calm us down and pump us up. It helps us manage pain, sleep better, and be more productive.” - Alex Doman, Author of ‘Healing at the Speed of Sound’
Studying music helps express emotions, release stress, manage anxiety, and nurture creativity. Making music has excellent physical benefits also, as playing an instrument uses your arm, core, and back muscles. The deep breathing that voice, wind, and brass instruments require strengthens lungs.
Music helps relieve stress, and is great for our heart rate and blood pressure as well.
Music has excellent cognitive benefits as well, such as better motor planning and coordination, visuospatial ability, working memory, attention span,focus, and development in areas of the brain responsible for processing sound, language development, speech perception, reading skills, and math.
