Benefits of Doing Physical Activity From a Young Age

Being physically active from a young age benefits children’s development and growth and improves both their mental and physical health later in life.

Dance can be a great way to get your child moving. Dance Factor offers classes in all styles in a fun and supportive social environment.

Putting your child in dance classes can:

1. Strengthens bones, muscles, hearts and lungs
2. Improve coordination, balance, posture and flexibility
3. Help maintain a healthy weight
4. Reduce risk of heart disease, cancer and type-2 diabetes later in life

It also boosts children’s mental wellbeing. Active children are more likely to:

1. Be confident and feel like they belong
2. Be relaxed and sleep well
3. Concentrate better at school
4. Get along with peers and make friends easily
5. Share, take turns and cooperate

We offer dance classes in all styles to cater for all ages and abilities. If you are interested in enrolling or trialling a class or have any general enquiries contact info@dancefactor.com.au.

Dance Factor is a Wollongong-based dance studio.
