Dancing with your kids is fun and a great way to bond. You may even like the music you let them choose. Of course, dance is more than just a bit of fun. When you dance with children you give them an opportunity to improve their hand and eye coordination. They will learn to embrace their own body and move effortlessly around the floor. Dace gives them the opportunity to explore their own boundaries and push the limits of their current abilities. Plus music is good for your mental health!
