Why parents choose us
01
INCLUSIVE
Our partner-dancing programs are affordable for the vast majority of families and compare very favourably to other options. And, importantly, our programs are not just for athletes and born dancers; any child can participate
and benefit fully.
02
TRANSFORMATIVE
Our programs have a lasting positive effect on students. They foster
inter-gender respect, relationship skills and self-confidence, producing students who are well-rounded, respectful, courageous and resilient.
They're also a great antidote to social media and excessive screen-time.
03
A FUN WAY TO GET FIT
Our students are having too much fun to notice how much fitter they're getting form partner-dancing. It's physically demanding but the music
just picks them up and cafrries them along.
04
RELIABLE
With more than a decade of successfully conducting our programs for
more than a hundred thousand students now, you can count on DanceSport Confidence to deliver top quality programs with instructors dedicated to producing the best possible outcomes for each student.
05
JOYOUS
Partner-dancing in particular is a light activity that just makes everyone smile. Whether you're participating or spectating, it's a joyous thing to do – the positivity is infectious.
06
SAFE
Compare DanceSport to high-impact contact sports like football, netball, basketball, hockey and cricket and really there's no contest. All classes and competitions are fully supervised by professional dance instructors.
07
UNIVERSAL
The language of dance, and partner-dancing in particular, is universal.
It's something that is found and celebrated in cultures the world over.
Parter-dancing has a universal appeal – even to those who fear it!
08
PARTNERSHIP-BUILDING
Unlike team sports, solo dancing or troupe dancing, our partner-dancing programs are unique in that they build invaluable partnership skills – interdependence, trust and respect – vital cornerstones for successful partnerships throughout their lives.
09
COMMUNITY-BUILDING
Within every school community, especially in multicultural countries like Australia and the USA, there are often divisive or fractious factors – factors that our programs have an astounding ability to overcome. Their community-building effect is something to behold.
10
CAREER-OPENING
DanceSport Confidence provides full-accredited pathways for students to become professional dancers and/or professional instructors – either as a full-time career or as a way to support themselves through tertiary education.
The “My Best Self” program provides children with the essential experience of developing
a strong foundation of well-being and emotional health, positive social connection using verbal
and non-verbal communication, and appraising feelings related to facing challenges,
change, and others’ perspectives.
The key themes of respectful relationships, courage and resilience are embedded throughout the program and can be adapted to a broad range of developmental levels and learning styles. The spiralling curriculum can be readily reinforced and built upon over time, enhancing the opportunity for these principles to become anchored in their development and sense of self over their lifetime. Skills of reflection, gratitude, acceptance and tolerance, goal-setting and resilience are implicitly woven into the program. By using their minds
and bodies in connecting with others through shared experiences of social decision-making and
meaningful reciprocal interactions, self-discovery has never looked this fun.
