3 Ways to Teach Kids Beat Acquisition

Study after study shows that dancing, singing, and listening to music increase brain activity in young children's overall cognitive development. The linked benefits of this cognitive enrichment are that these activities are increased by repeating dance and music with story, song, reasoning and language!

Other connections of providing children with an experience that incorporates rhythm in their development are, in fact, more profound. Studies show that dance and music in a child’s development can help with:
*Developed physical coordination that includes balance and locomotor patterns
*Increased reading and mathematical skills
More cognitive flexibility with task-switching and concentration
To name a few!

In this short video, Belle shares how to enhance the skill of beat acquisition by exposing a young child to moving and dancing to the beat. This will help carve new neural pathways in the child’s brain, which, at specific times in brain development, will permanently increase the brain’s ability in cognition! So, in fact, we are making our kids smarter! They DANCE to LEARN!
