If you are looking for a fun and healthy activity for your kids, dance classes are a great option. Not only do they help improve coordination and fitness, but they also provide a creative outlet for kids to express and understand themselves.
Here are 7 famous dance styles every kid should know about:
Ballet
A traditional dance style that emphasises grace, poise, and technique. Ballet has a rich history, dating back to the Italian Renaissance in the 15th century. Some remarkable ballet dancers and performances include Anna Palvova, Rudolf Nureyev, and Swan Lake. Many dance schools offer classes for children as young as the age of three years old. When choosing a ballet class, look for a teacher who highlights proper technique and alignment. Hayley Beeson School of Dance offers ballet classes for all students of all ages and skill levels.
Contemporary
A style that combines ballet and modern dance techniques, and often focuses on emotional expression. Contemporary dance emerged in the mid-20th century as a response to the firm structure of traditional ballet. Some significant contemporary dancers and performances include Marta Graham, Merce Cunningham, and Alvin Ailey. Age and Skill level recommendations for contemporary dance vary.
Street Dance
A high-energy style that originated in the urban areas, this includes hip hop, break dancing, and popping and locking. The benefits of street dance include improved stamina, coordination, and rhythm. Street dance became known in the 1970s as a response to the disco era. Some notable street dancers and performances include Michael Jackson, Run-DMC, and the film Breakin’. Age and Skills level recommendations also vary, we provide the best services for all.

A style that combines acting and singing with dance and is mostly used for Broadway production. This is a fun and exciting way to combine dance, music, and acting.
