Parents always want the best for the children, and rightly so.... When they are exposed to sports and the arts, children become more well rounded young people. But, have you thought about ballet?
Children are into all sorts of different after school activities and dancing is a great medium for girls and boys. They can start young and progress, and beginning with ballet gives them a great foundation for lots of other dance genre. When you see a balllet dancer they make it look effortless, graceful with fluid movements. But did you know that it takes immense core strength and training to achieve this? From lifts to pointe work its wonderous how the ballet dancers can achieve this.
Ballet classes can start for children as young as 3 and 4 years old, for them being in the centre of the dance school is something new and exciting and they learn so much, for instance:
How to follow instructions
A sense of discipline from learning new steps and sequences
Co-ordination, balance and how to control their bodies in motion
Confident and comfortable performing in front of groups
So, once a child begins dance in ballet they are not only learning a valued art form but also achieving confidence, skills and techniques for the life that is ahead of them.
