  • Builds Confidence & Social Skills – Learning in a group setting promotes teamwork, patience, and communication, all of which are essential for social development.
  • Supports Cognitive Development – Memorizing simple routines improves memory and concentration, while following instructions enhances listening skills.
  • Instills a Love for Movement – Establishing a positive relationship with physical activity early on encourages a lifelong appreciation for health and fitness.
