Abstract

Art is a vital component in our life, performing arts education is crucial for children’s development, positively impacting their cognitive, social, emotional, and academic growth. This paper reviews studies showing that involvement in performing arts like music, dance, and theatre improves critical thinking, creativity, problem-solving skills, and academic performance. It also enhances social skills such as cooperation, communication, and empathy, while providing an emotional outlet for children to express and manage their feelings.
