Dance Classes for Kids in Palo Alto

What they’ll learn: Dance has a great deal of benefits for kids including exercising the body and mind. Not only does dance increase fitness levels, but it also helps to foster creativity, correct posture, improve flexibility, and even cultural understanding. 
Ages: 3 & up
Time Commitment: 1-2 hours per week

Studios usually begin enrolling kids 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.
