Is my daughter ready for ballet?

Many young girls love to spin and twirl around their bedroom...so does that mean they are ready for a dance class?  Many times ballet can be pushed aside in favor of tap dancing, hip-hop, jazz, Latin dance and other forms. But, did you know that beginning with ballet will help with these other types of dancing, acting, modeling and some sports as well? 

Parents often seem in a rush to enroll their children in classical ballet classes. However, formal ballet training should not be introduced until the age of 8.  Before then, a child's bones are too soft for the physical demands and exercises of classical/technical ballet.  It is actually possible to delay training until the age of 10 or 12 and still have a great future in ballet.

Pre-ballet classes, such as Ms. Amie's classes, are often offered to children between the ages of 3 and 7.  Children may be encouraged to move around the room to the rhythms of different styles of music, they are introduced to the five positions of ballet, stressing the importance of proper posture, and are encouraged to develop creative movement through storytelling.  A pre-ballet class such as this is an ideal introduction to the world of ballet that captivates the imagination and attention spans of young children.
