The term ‘dance’ requires no definite definition to understand it, it is a way humans have invented to express their essence. Humans find comfort in self-expression through dance. Dance is interwoven in almost every aspect of our life such as communication, celebration, learning, belief systems and relations. Dance is what dance is. It can be an art; it can be magic; but, most of all, it is an experience to be prized for itself. Advaith school in Hosur offers dance as a full time programme to our students. Dance is human thought and behaviour that awakens a new perception and lead to higher cognitive, spatial and emotional development. In Advaith, dance is taught and promoted as one of important performing art. We, at Advaith, believe dance contributes to aesthetic, moral and intellectual values as well as to enhancing physical adeptness and overall well-being. Other schools might find dance frivolous as compared to more orthodox subjects like science, mathematics that are part of our educational curriculum.

Advaith International Academy foresees the exhilaration and joy that dance brings, providing an ideal means to attain self-awareness, self-development, and self-fulfilment. Through dance students learn to explore their inner strength and develop self-discipline by learning to control their body movement. Their perception is sharpened too, as they begin to understand the coordination and master the various movements, decoding the expressions involved. They become attuned with their subjective reality, using dance as a medium to communicate bridging the gap between inner and outer reality. Clearly, dance is related to well-being and even to health, although the exact nature of that relation has yet to be made explicit. Dancing helps young student with development of their gross motor skills. It builds their fundamental abilities and skills through a creative approach of exploration and experimentation. Dance not only helps student to voice their ideas, opinions, emotions through movements, it also guides them to build social connections.
