Through the art of dance, give kids the gift of grace, style, etiquette, and discipline that will last a lifetime.
Ballroom dancing is yet another form of wheelchair dancing. Even such dances as the waltz, foxtrot and rhumba are possible. Wheelchair dancing is an international competitive sport involving athletes with a physical disability that affects the lower limbs. There are classes for adaptive dancing "combi -style" (standing) partner or duo-dance with two wheelchairs. There are also formation dances for four, six or eight competitors.
In the past decade DanceSport Youth has become a favorite of both New York area kids and teens, and their parents. Our dedication to teaching children's partner dance is evident by both the joy and skill seen in our students. Many DanceSport students have even gone on to compete and place in some of the countries most prestigious ballroom and Latin competitions.
One of the founding beliefs of our program is that partner dance teaches important social values. Our students learn not only how to be graceful, coordinated and poised, but how to be self disciplined, self-confident and cooperative as well. Along with attaining more refined manners and better posture our students also leave the studio with an education in different cultures. At DanceSport, students gain insight into other cultures through their study of dances like Salsa, Foxtrot, Waltz, Tango and Rumba ... This cultural education is further supplemented by our own multicultural staff and student body. For all these reasons (and many more) we believe involvement in partner dance is one of the greatest ways to boost a child’Äôs self-esteem and help them feel comfortable in nearly any social and cultural setting.
