When these two babies hear their mom start performing the theme tune to the 1980’s TV Drama Eastenders, they can’t help but smile and move along with the groove.
It’s amazing when you realize just how quickly humans develop.
At such a young age, these two little girls already have the ability to hear and perceive sound as music and have enough motor control to move their bodies in a way that follows the vibrations of the sounds.
According to Kiddie Academy, “Babies can start kicking to music as early as 0-6 months old.”
Because dancing does more for developing babies than just affording them a bit of fun.
Hifivebaby also states that “It helps their creativity and development. It’s also a good way of expressing themselves, and it even helps improve their sense of coordination.”
So if you or someone you know has a baby that’s around dancing age, make sure that they are encouraged to dance!
There are lots of ways to encourage them.
For one, you always want to give them positive feedback when they start to dance.
This will keep them motivated to keep on dancing and working on those motor skills.
You should also clear a space for them to dance.
Although they are working on their coordination through dance, it doesn’t mean that it’s totally there yet.
They are so accustomed to having a playmate, that it’s inherent for them to keep each other entertained.
According to Medical Press, twins will start interacting even before they are born!
The studies show that while in the womb, “They touched each other more often than they touched their own bodies, spending up to 30 percent of their time reaching out and stroking their co-twin.”
How lucky twins are to be blessed with a constant companion–someone to play with, talk with, and yes, even dance with.
