Fun Dance Programs for the Lil' Ones @ The Parenthood Wellness

Like many kids, my younger daughter loves music and dance a lot. She is so active that she will starts shaking her body when she hear the beats of music. So, hubby and I were discussing about enrolling her into a dance class, coincidentally my friend has introduced me the kids' fun dance programs at The Parenthood Wellness @ Sunway Pyramid.
The Parenthood Wellness is a one-stop family fitness centre, we have been there for a few times at The Parenthood playground. This time, we visited The Parenthood Wellness to join The Dance Project on their tour open day.
We like the clean, bright and fun environment in The Parenthood Wellness. My girl got to change to their dancing suits and joined the dance sessions with other boys and girls.
It makes a big difference in life when you can start off on the right foot. The Dance Project is happy to be able to introduce our children, between ages 2 and 12, to the world of dance and exercise, in a fun and fruitful way. With their tagline of “Fun & Fitness with Dance – Developing Healthy & Confident Kids”, they will expose children to various genres of non-exam focused dance and movement programs, which are designed to be fun, engaging and educational.

In fact, they have programs involving parents too as they belief that dance and movement forms an integral part of children’s holistic development. Regular dance practice can increase children’s flexibility, range of motion, physical strength and stamina. The repetitive movements involved in the lessons can improve muscle tone, correct poor posture, increase balance and coordination, and improve overall cardiovascular health. Besides physical benefits, dance also promotes psychological health and maturity; foster social encounter, interaction and cooperation; and cognitive development.
Dance is basic to learning. Children learn most readily from experience, primarily through physical and sensory experiences. When children are presented with various movement activities, which require focus, observation skills, imagination and sometimes spontaneity, they are put through a process of exploration, creativity and problem solving, which ultimately teaches children to function in,and understand the world.

Dance also helps children develop literacy. To the young child, verbal language and movement are entwined. Pre-verbal movement expression does not cease when a child develops language. The road to literacy involves the translation of movement expression and communication into words. Learning language and learning dance are not separate threads, but are woven together, forming communication.
The Parenthood Wellness' flagship program is KINDERDANCE, the NUMBER ONE rated children dance program in the United States that provides developmental dance, motor development, gymnastics, fitness programs for young children! KINDERDANCE is established since 1979 with proven track record of 38 years in the U.S. And is in its fifth year in Malaysia. While focused primarily in bringing its dance program to preschools and daycare centers, KINDERDANCE is now available for walk in parents/students in its first external location in The Parenthood!

Kinderdance offers the best approach, to teach your child to love an active life, to be healthy, to be communicative, to be happy. What makes Kinderdance unique is that all of its programs incorporate educational concepts in a developmentally designed curriculum that perfectly suits all children for a complete experience: hours of fun, dance, fitness and learning trough play! Children will learn a combination of dance programs incorporating the basics of ballet, tap, gymnastics, creative movement, motor development skills and fitness while learning elements such as language, numbers, colors, shapes and songs.
