Dance speaks volumes without saying a word.  When words just don’t cut it, our bodies take the stage to share our untold stories in creative and fascinating ways.  The magic of dance isn’t just about fancy footwork; it’s a powerhouse of perks for both the mind and body, including:

• Improved balance, strength, coordination, and flexibility
• Enhanced self-discipline and goal-setting
• Greater appreciation of diverse cultures and arts, fostering empathy
• Boosted self-confidence and communication skills
• Skills in problem-solving and accepting constructive criticism

Dancing isn’t only beneficial when you’re young; adults also reap a multitude of benefits from taking a dance class.  Dance enhances physical health, including reducing the risk of osteoporosis, and provides mental benefits such as helping to prevent dementia and Alzheimer’s disease.  Whether you're tapping your toes seated or holding onto the barre, dance is the ultimate all-age-accessible fun your body and your mind has been waiting for.

For over 53 years, Fairmount Center for the Arts has provided high-quality dance instruction in northeast Ohio.  Their classes, taught by professional dancers, offer a noncompetitive, supportive environment.

Whether you're a beginner or advanced, Fairmount has a dance class for you!  Dancers aged 3 and older are encouraged to join end-of-session performances and may also join additional performance ensembles throughout the year.
