Ballroom and Latin dancing, while frightening propositions to adults without experience, are nothing for kids. And why should they care? Children lack the concerns for appearances they adults harbor, aren't unafraid of falling or looking stupid, and have energy any adult would kill for. So with all that moldable drive, and fearlessness, all that's missing is quality dance instruction. And now Clearwater has that, as well.
Back in August, world famous purveyors of dance, Arthur Murray Dance Studios opened their newest location in Clearwater, FL. There is now one less excuse for not learningballroom dancing in Tampa Bay. With the launching of the Kid's Dance Program, parents can now be certain that their children can at least hold their own at every wedding they'll ever attend. So whether you want to retire to the the islands on your famous kid's dollar, ensure they have them a rewarding type of exercise, or just want them involved in a positive activity, Arthur Murray Clearwater has a kid's dancing program to fit your needs.
Kid's classes are geared toward would-be dancers from ages 7-17. Patient, and professional instructors will cover the basics in FOXTROT, WALTZ, RUMBA, SWING, CHA-CHA, and more.
Studio owners Sevrin Szapiaczan and Landra Seim promise, "Kids frequently change partners and have loads of fun while learning."
Students learn fundamental skills in at least two dance styles in every class. The beginner class is designed as a fun introduction to ballroom dance in the various dancing styles. The Advanced Classes will then focus on dance choreography and advanced technique. The Clearwater studio also offers private lessons five days per week for those oriented children more desirous of a performance and competition track.
The cost for the Children's Dance Class is $15 per class, per student, or $165 for the entire 11-week course.
