For the Lynden Dance School, this is more than just an opportunity to perform; it’s a chance for the community to see the incredible talent developing right here in Basingstoke.
The Lynden Dance Squads’ Journey
For the 5-14-year-olds in the Lynden Dance Squads, preparing for the Basingstoke Variety Show has been an exciting and rewarding experience. Their rehearsals have been focused on a variety of routines, from a high-energy Scottish-themed dance to the expressive movements of lyrical, the dynamic moves of commercial jazz, and the theatrical flair of musical theatre. These performances showcase the versatility and enthusiasm of each child involved.
Dance classes at Lynden aren’t just about learning the moves; they’re about building confidence, teamwork, and perseverance. The upcoming performance at the Variety Show allows the children to put those lessons into practice in front of a live audience. Whether it’s perfecting a sequence of moves for commercial jazz or mastering the emotional depth of a lyrical routine, the students are eager to perform and make their families and community proud.
The Benefits of Children’s Dance Classes
Parents in Basingstoke and Chineham know that children’s dance classes offer so much more than just physical activity. Dance encourages children to be active, creative, and focused, which is why so many families choose to get involved. Here’s how dance classes benefit young performers:
- Physical Well-being: Dance is a fantastic way for children to stay active and improve their fitness levels. It helps with balance, strength, and flexibility.
- Creativity & Expression: Through dance, children can express their emotions and tell stories, enhancing their creativity and imagination.
- Social & Communication Skills: Being part of a dance squad teaches children how to communicate, share, and work together, helping them grow socially.
- Self-Confidence: Performing on stage in front of an audience is a huge confidence boost. It gives children the courage to step outside their comfort zone and be proud of their achievements.
The Lynden Dance Squads are a great example of how these classes help children develop both on and off the stage.
