Dance Classes for Kids in Menlo Park and Atherton

What they’ll learn: Dance is a great activity for kids that exercises both the mind and body. Not only does dance increase fitness levels in kids, but it also helps to foster creativity, correct posture, improve flexibility, and even enhance cultural understanding. 

Ages: 3 & up
Time Commitment: 1-2 hours per week

Many studios begin enrolling children in dance class as early as 3 years old; any younger than that and kids tend to lack the attention span and strong bones needed for basic dance lessons. A general rule of thumb might be to consider signing up when your child expresses interest in taking dance class.
