• They developed gross motor skills by moving in different directions and patterns.

For continued development, encourage the child to explore different styles of dance, such as ballet, jazz, or hip-hop. They can also practice creating their own dance routines to express their creativity. Additionally, incorporating props like ribbons or scarves can add a fun and imaginative element to their dancing.
