Dance In Education

The Dance In Education Program, integrated into the school curriculum, empowers children with the performing arts within their school premises. It aims to provide students with training in dance fundamentals, styles, and techniques, helping them de-stress and develop well-rounded personalities.

Students learn musical theatre and stage performance, gaining technical knowledge, spatial awareness, and performance skills. This experience helps them overcome stage fright, build confidence, work in teams, and achieve a sense of accomplishment.

Focusing on dance expression, knowledge, and creativity, the program goes beyond dance movement. Using Jazz technique, Ballet exercises, Yoga Asanas, Dance Therapy activities, and theatre arts, each class follows a structured syllabus. This enhances fitness, confidence, focus, team spirit, positive thinking, discipline, and overall development.

Dance education can be applied in top schools nationwide, using dance as a medium for physical activity and creative expression, channeling students' energy resourcefully.

DIRECTORS NOTE

As the Founder and Artistic Director, my aim through Dance Education is to share the benefits of dance with students in their formative years. When I started my journey decades back, I realized my mission of spreading the joy of dance, and using its therapeutic power. During this journey I have seen people heal physically, mentally and spiritually through performing arts. Whilst at school, children are more receptive to the process of learning, and using dance as a medium of physical activity and creative medium, this program aims at channelizing their energy in a resourceful manner. The objective behind starting Dance In Education is to make it a part of the regular curriculum with a specially designed syllabus that encompasses all aspects of the performing arts. This is where the art of dance and the performing arts help children develop skills, knowledge and understanding that goes beyond the classroom. My aim has been to provide quality dance education, inculcate correct technique and provide wholesome training. The expert faculty is personally trained by me and specializes in teaching children of all age groups, understanding their individual requirements and ensuring that they learn in a fun and friendly environment. I invite your esteemed institute in adopting a holistic learning approach provided through Dance In Education.
