The Importance of the June Dance RecitalBuilding student confidence and self-esteem
As many of you know, we make a big effort on the year-end dance recital. Since it is the beginning of the upcoming season, I would like to re-emphasize the importance of the June recital. For the last 22 years, Elaine’s Dance Studio has provided students with an exciting performance experience through the June recital. The recital is the annual staple of the Dance School and conjures up images for many of childhood stage performances. I consider it one of the rites of passage for youngsters to shine in front of family and friends and to overcome their fears and nervousness. The recital offers our students a professionally directed performance that allows them to present to their family and friends the result of a year’s hard work and dedication.
A big part of the dance training process includes learning through performance. This experience helps build self-esteem, self-assurance and contributes to self-confidence. Although performance opportunities can help prepare some students for a career in dance, they also contribute to your child’s success in non–dance activities. I have found that onstage experience results in better in-school presentations, improved social skills, and strong interview skills for future college and job opportunities. The rehearsal process is a tremendous learning experience as well. It helps the development of retention skills, and by working with classmates on a group performance, they learn the positive aspects of working together as a team to create best end results.
Lastly, dedication to the recital commitment is the responsibility of both parents and students. If you have any questions or would like to discuss your child’s progress, please feel free to contact me. Thank you.
