Ballet
Ballet dancers make it look effortless as they move across the stage. If you are looking to discover your child’s passion, why not sign them up for a ballet class? There are many unexpected benefits of ballet classes for kids. They learn to follow instructions. They gain a sense of discipline through learning new positions. They learn co-ordination, balance and how to control their bodies in motion.
The physical health benefits are numerous – apart from improved muscular strength, ballet enhances the functioning of the heart and lungs, greater self-confidence and self-esteem.
At Elite Kids Ballet class, we focus on developing children’s muscle strength in a way that is both fun and beneficial. Strength training also teaches kids how to exercise and sets them up for a healthier lifestyle in the future. Ballet is an art form. It inspires children to be creative and learn how to express themselves through movement. With live music accompaniment in all of our classes, children are exposed to an even truer sense of relationship between dance and music.

Piano
- Learning to play the piano can increase your child's confidence and their ability to concentrate and maintain focus. It allows them to practice exercising patience and discipline. Plus, studies have indicated that learning to play the piano can have a positive impact on a child's mental health.
- Piano lessons introduce your child to the idea of delayed gratification. In a world where your child is used to having everything at the touch of a button or the flick of a switch, it’s good to show them that some things are well worth the wait.
- Children will need to focus on the instructions given by their piano tutor, and this learning process teaches them fundamental skills that help them listen, comprehend and react to information.
- Your child can be playing “Old MacDonald” or “Ode to Joy” within the first lesson, and it will be pleasant-sounding to the ears. No teeth-grinding, wincing side looks!
- Piano teaches coordination, that is because the piano uses both hands equally and develops hand independence in the process. This ability to coordinate your hands (and fingers) is helpful in developing muscle memory and multi-tasking ability.
Guitar
Playing guitar is fun. When you learn to play a song on guitar, it will make you smile! You smile when you are having fun and learning songs and playing them for family and friends will certainly make them smile! It is superb to see the thrill on a parent’s face when their child plays their first tune.
The biggest physical hurdle young kids generally need to overcome when learning guitar is their lack of fine motor skills and hand strength. Switching chords on guitar strings requires nimble fingers, and many kids don’t develop the required level of dexterity until they are about six years.
As parents and educators, we try to give our children every opportunity to live a happy and successful life. One of the best ways is to introduce them to the gift of music, and not only are guitar lessons an ideal way to do that, they also provide many benefits. Aside from the well-known benefits such as improved reading and writing abilities, playing guitar has been shown to improve hand-eye coordination. Children develop important motor skills, similar to when they take part in certain sports activities.
Swimming
Drowning is the second leading cause of unintentional injury-related death to children ages one through 14. It is absolutely crucial that all kids know how to swim at a young age. There is water all around us, even if it’s as small as a bathtub. Making sure that your child is comfortable in and around water is essential to their safety. So being able to swim is an essential life-saving skill.
Swimming provides loads of health benefits, which can help to keep your children healthy and happy at the same time. It keeps your child’s heart and lungs healthy, improves strength and flexibility, increases stamina and even improves balance and posture. Swimming lessons are beneficial for children as it enhances their knowledge of safety around water as well furthering their skills and stroke development.
Because swimming is done in the water, it’s easier on most of the child’s joints. Knees and ankles don’t have to bear a constant beat down that running, and the sports that involve running, provide on a regular basis. While swimming injuries do occur, they don’t prevent participation in the activity. If a shoulder is injured, the person can still practice kicking techniques.
Swimming is a full body work out! It is one of the best cardiovascular exercises because it improves endurance and it improves the body’s efficiency using oxygen.
