Recitals are always a highlight of a dancer’s experience each year!
Although the prep leading up to the actual performance can be overwhelming, participation in the recital is an incredible opportunity that provides many benefits for our dancers!
Though there are many, here are 4 of our favorite benefits of Recital!
1. Recitals Promote Creativity, Courage & Confidence!
Participating in a recital or performance helps dancers to overcome shyness, fear, anxiety and stage fright. It gives students a chance to showcase all of their hard work, dedication, and progress from throughout the year. The self-confidence gained from participating in a dance recital is beneficial to dancers in all aspects of life!
2. Recitals Provide an Opportunity to Set Goals & Develop New Skills!
The weeks (or months) spent preparing for a recital is helpful in teaching students how to work towards a goal! Dancers take pride in learning new steps and being able to show off their moves at their recital gives them motivation to work hard! Preparing for a recital is also a way for dancers to work on skill retention and memorization, as well as rhythm and technique.
3. Recitals Promote Teamwork!
By working with their fellow dancers on a group performance, dancers learn all the positive benefits of working together to create a masterpiece! They develop camaraderie and friendships, which can last a lifetime! Recitals provide a wonderful opportunity for dancers to learn that there is no “I” in TEAM. Working as a team with one’s classmates also makes it easier for dancers to celebrate the accomplishments of others, a skill that will be beneficial as they go through school, future careers, and life!
4. Recitals Create Memories!
Recital memories will last for a lifetime. Costumes become treasured keepsakes, recital pictures become the highlights of photo albums and scrapbooks, and the lessons learned are remembered for years to come! For families, recital is a time to celebrate their dancer’s achievements, and for dancers, recital instills a passion for the art of dancing and performing.
All of us at Bloom consider it a highlight of the year and an honor to be a part of providing each dancer with a beneficial, memorable and FUN Recital experience!
