When we dance we are offered opportunities for physical development. Movement fosters our coordination, our strength, and our endurance. Music leads us through movement patterns, it helps develop your kinaesthetic memory, your body flexibility, and your vestibular sense (which helps with balance). It is sensory awareness and a mindfulness of your movements, through which you are developing your proprioceptive sense (the awareness of ourselves). Dance is an important conduit through which we can discover non-verbal communication. We are learning a language, without words, which is rich and expressive.
