Dance is graceful, elegant, and controlled while encompassing the features of chaos and ambiguity. The duty of a dancer is to inflict emotion from the viewer through various genres that are multifarious themselves. A dancer can tell a story, define life, personify inanimate objects, and celebrate a culture or religion. The dancer has complete control over their body and manipulates the audience with movement.
Each student has a story to tell and sometimes words aren't enough. Music can help each performer get their message across, but putting a visual to melody can be more effective. For adolescents, dance can help express changes they are going through in a positive way. They will also enjoy themselves while learning more about who they are.
Physically, dance is an excellent source of exercise and is extremely rewarding for our health. Dancers will become toned and in shape by completing somatically demanding routines. Each student will learn how to maintain a healthy diet so they can continue to train productively.
Over time our dancers will find exactly what style of dance suits their personality. With this, they will grow to love what they do every day and learn from their teachers as well as other students that surround them. Dance builds character, individuality, courage, and confidence which are all qualities we all need in order to succeed. Plenty of Rhythm’s teachers will instruct students to manage their own success while working with others. It is important that we work together in order to grow.
