Kids and Youth Dance Programs

Kids Dance Lessons EuroRhythm Dance Studio is proud to announce the creation of a kids & youth program. For years we have been one of the top providers of ballroom dance instruction for adults and young people in the greater phoenix area.

Now, recognizing the growing popularity of ballroom among young people and the great social and intellectual benefits it can offer those who participate in it, we are excited to offer group and private instruction tailored to children and young adults. Our goal is to expose young people of all ages and backgrounds to this enriching activity.

Ballroom dance challenges young people to learn a new skill and expand their understanding or music and world cultures.

Why Ballroom?

Social Benefits

Improves communication skills
Improves self confidence
Teaches courtesy and consideration of others

Many youth sports nurture only the physical needs of young people, while other programs address only the academic. However, Ballroom dance instruction provides, exercise, intellectual stimulation and teaches important social skills.

Physical Benefits

Provides great exercise
Increases energy and improves health
Improves coordination

Dancesport, or competitive ballroom dancing, is as physically demanding as soccer, swimming, or running. It teaches coordination, increases stamina and promotes a healthy body image. While some traditional dance instruction requires that students fit a particular body type, ballroom dancers come in all shapes and sizes. Our classes create healthy bodies and encourage a healthy lifestyle.

Emotional & Cognitive Benefits

Reduces stress and anxiety
Increases self esteem
Increases attentiveness
Improves creativity in problem solving

Ballroom dance is also intellectually demanding. With 4 styles encompassing 19 dances, mastery can take a lifetime. Each dance has a complex list of required step and each step has 75 years technique behind it. We require students to study the material provided to prepare for their classes.
