What is better for children: dance lessons or cell phones?
-Sunday, August 30, 2026
Compared to playing with a cell phone (or tablet, or computer), dancing offers much more extensive physical, mental, and social benefits for children that electronic devices cannot replicate.
International style 10-dance (or Ten Dance) is a very difficult competitive category that combines both DanceSport disciplines of Standard (5 dances: Waltz, Tango, V. Waltz, Foxtrot and Quickstep) as well as Latin-American (5 dances: Samba, ChaCha, Rumba, Paso Doble and Jive).
People of all ages, from kids to seniors, find this new sport fun and exciting and are reaping its health and mental benefits. Many new people have decided to start Ballroom Dance because they see it as athletic activity. Thus, we can continue to increase participation in competitive Ballroom Dance by recognizing it as a sport.
