Our mission is to provide affordable professional performing arts programs for all. Exposing children to the arts is so beneficial. Not only does it create cultured well-rounded individuals, but studies have shown a link between young children who learn music and later go on to excel in math and science. Most importantly we
want to give our youth an outlet of self-expression and a great enriching diversion from the streets/city life. Through dance, music, theater, and art we can began to teach young children self-awareness, decision-making, managing feelings, handling stress, communication, group dynamics, and conflict resolution. During the past 20 years, obesity among adults & children has risen significantly in the United States. The latest data from the National Center for Health Statistics show that 30 percent of U.S. Adults 20 years of age and older (over 60 million people) are obese. The percentage of young people who are overweight has more
than tripled since 1980. Among children and teens age 6–19, 16 percent (over 9 million young people) are considered overweight. These increasing rates raise concern because of their implications for Americans’ health. At Living Arts Dance & Fitness Studios you can dance and burn the calories away! Keep your children physically fit as well as culturally aware by exposing them to the performing arts. Dance is the most natural and fun work out on the planet.
