DanceMania
With evidence suggesting that music increases motivation, improves brain function and mental wellbeing, we encourage you to use music to get your pupils moving this Summer.
Try to achieve 30 minutes of activity for 30 days during the Summer Term.
Dance helps young people to develop motor skills like balance, coordination, rhythm, and spatial awareness. It also boosts their confidence because they get the chance to do something they feel good about.
Because of these benefits, it makes dance one of the most vital educational activities in school.
Whether you introduce a music focus in school activities or encourage pupils to be active at home we hope our resources help to achieve your goals.
It doesn't matter what activities you choose to do, you could learn a new dance style, create your own dance routine, learn a new skill, try some fun games or use music to bring a different feel.
