Dance supports the child's self-confidence, emotional development and physical development. Dance does not only mean a physical activity of the child, but also a social phenomenon, and develops communication and social skills in the child. Today, children do not have sufficient time in physical activity in schools. Educators and parents should be aware of this need and should not ignore the fact that dance is an important tool in child development. Movement and dance education, which was started at an early age, contributes to the child in all areas ranging from speech and language development to motor skills, literacy learning and positive behaviors.},author={Bora OKDAN},year={2019},journal={The Journal of Social Sciences}}
