dont be so rude the both of you..especially one of u that started gymnastics at the age of 5, its the same thing as a dance class. the kids love it and it does help them, i am a pro too and i know what i am talking about.
Putting your child in ballet at this age really does nothing for them except make you happy. Don't throw your money away at this age. when they are ten or so ask them what art they would like to study and go all in.
As a pro myself, I do know that it does nothing at this age...but if the child wants to do it and your willing to pay for them to "fly" around the room, so be it if it makes HER happy. I don't teach this age for that reason. But if and when they decide to do it or not, then that works for me too.
@chksngrnyc Dance teacher here. I used to think this. I think most "real ballet training" is going to start around 5-6. However, being around young kids more and more, I totally understand that every parent needs a break sometime, so if someone wants me to work with their kids for an hour on musicality, coordination, following directions, working as a group, etc., so that they can get a break, by all means. I'm gonna do it when I have kids.
I think your attitude is the reason that most little girls grow up with esteem issues. If "adults" are constantly putting the children down when it's the adults who should be in the children's corner, how is that child supposed to feel? The best thing that you can do for a child who has his or her heart set on a thing is to encourage that enthusiasm.
@sistag1rl Self esteem is earned, not by virtue of your birth and the sooner children learn that, the better. We now have a generation of pampered, egocentric, spoiled, rude, unmotivated, selfish and violent children that have a false sense of entitlement...could it be they got that from the all the people like yourself that are afraid to teach consequences.. and self esteem comes from within.. by accomplishment and not by being told how great you are...just cause
@chksngrnyc I understand not encouraging subpar performance in any arena--be it performing arts or otherwise. But we have to consider the age and ability of the children, as well. They're not gonna be ready for a piece like Symphony No. 3 or be able to do pirouettes right outta the womb, but parents and other adults should praise them for what they ARE able to do. And how does entitlement come into this situation? This is a dance recital, not a meltdown at Wally World.
@balletbitchCO No no no no o, you got it all wrong. I wished my parents would have kept me in dance. I'm 12 now and my parents think it's useless to pay for them now bc it's too late to become a pro. I'm trying to save up my money for dance lessons noow, but I probably will never get my dream to dance... =(
Look at 1:07 and look at the little girl in yellow between the two pink ones she is so cute

I like how they're dancing to a song called Manners and Etiquette, and the idiots in the audience are hollering like they're at a tractor pull.
