RHYTHMICS

Movement and dance in the early years underpins all subsequent development. Ability to control one’s body and overall physical well-being are the basic building block essential to the development of a healthy, and balanced personality.  The essential core of the human personality manifests itself through the physique of an individual and the manipulation of the physical body has a tremendous impact on character development. 

Rhythmics classes at Nika Ballet Studio is a specially designed program for young children of 2.5 to 5 years of age that helps build up attributes that are fundamental not only for future participation in dance classes or sports, but for the overall development of the child.

Through proper instruction, children enrolled in Rhythmics classes at Nika Ballet Studio demonstrate progress in a number of developmental areas. Systematic participation in dance classes brings about an enhanced control of one’s body, improved posture, greater flexibility, and spatial awareness.  By learning basic rhythmic skills, a child gains a sense of balance, body awareness, ability to coordinate movements, and most importantly appreciation of music and dance.  Through dance, children channel their energy, develop listening skills, exercise their attention, and concentration. 

Rhythmics classes at Nika Ballet Studio are based on learning a progression of skills, and as children advance from simple to complex tasks they develop a sense of accomplishment and a natural confidence in their abilities. Strict discipline required for the routine teaches young students that in order to achieve success they must be attentive and considerate.
