Peruvian Dance Classes 2025
Through this discipline, children can learn to communicate better with their peers, enjoy physical exercise and develop cognitive skills. The most amazing thing is that it can help them express that which they are not able to say with words.
In these classes, participants will enjoy the development of their creativity and the benefits of dance through traditional and contemporary games, such as social development, physical activity, discipline, physical and auditory development, and coordination. Through the practices, the values of respect, leadership, teamwork and valuing their cultural roots will be developed. This allows the child to strengthen personal integration while reinforcing their group identity and sense of community. The joint work has the mission of reinforcing and providing a comprehensive education to the participants, reinforcing their self-esteem for the development of a consistent human being for the future.
At the same time it gives them a new perspective on the culture and builds an unconscious connection. With this connection, students are more likely to be respectful of other cultures because they don't seem so foreign to them.
