I am going to put my little girl in dance class she is for what is the best class to start her in ??

Question

jazz or ballet? she already goes to gymnastics 1 day a week but wants to go to dance class as well so if you have any suggestions on whats the best dance class fr a little thanks for the help !!!!

Also should i take her out of gymnastics so she can try dance for a little while so she can see which one she likes better or should I keep her in both??

Answer 1

well, ballet is the basis for all other dance types. it gives her the proper technique and strength so that later on she can be a good jazz, tap, modern, lyrical, etc dancer. always start w ballet and add from there. its rele beneficial for her.

Answer 2

I would suggest jazz. When I was little I just wanted to dance and have fun. ballet is more refined and requires more knowledge. I ended up quitting dance because it wasn't fun for me at that age. I know am back in dance and take ballet along with jazz, tap, and hip-hop. I still think I probably would have continued taking dance classes if I had started out w/ something more fun like jazz.

Answer 3

Well, first of all if it's your choice to put her in one, don't do it unless she REALLY wants to.

I would suggest ballet, definitely. if it's her first dancing class, it's the perfect place to start. I'm 13 and i had just the perfect scenario for your question. I do hip hop and jazz now, i quit ballet. Here's what happened: my sister(twin) and i wanted to dance when we were little. There was jazz and ballet. We both wanted to do ballet but my mom insisted that one of us do jazz because of the never-ending confusion. I ended up doing ballet, she did jazz. I had lots of fun. We stretched and warmed up and did lighter, slower dances. My sister had a hard time keeping up with her jazz class because it was so up-beat and there weren't as many girls, they were all in ballet. She eventually switched to ballet, too. It was easier for her. She wore a pink ribbon i wore a blue one so there wouldn't be any confusion. If you think your girl can handle jazz then go ahead but i think ballet is much better to start off with.

Hope i helped! :]

Answer 4

Most dance studios have a great beginners classes that incorporate two types of dancing (ballet and tap) and some gymnastics. They know that choosing is probably difficult for the parents and it gives everyone a chance to find something they are good at. I taught these classes in the past and they are very broad and great for kids!!

Answer 5

Ballet is a wonderful dance to start out with.It takes extreme discipline and control to do ballet,plus if she really loves it,she will continue it,and its a great way for her to keep in shape later on without having to worry about her getting herself into an eating disorder or something like that.The dance will teach her discipline and control,which she will need for any other type of dancing she should decide to participate in later on in life.

Answer 6

Well Look up on youtube or google videos of little kids in ballet and jazz... See what kind is better..
I would say Ballet because it would be easier
But look it up see what kind she thinks she will like!

Answer 7

Go for ballet.The dances are a little easier. As she gets older she may want to start doing the jazz classes.

Answer 8

i would say ballet as she does gymnastics so she used be flexible as ballet i say she will love it if after a few weeks she does nt like it then change her to jazz

good luck and i hope ur Little girl enjoys her dace classes

Answer 9

I am in my teens and take hip-hop jazz right now. I wish my Mom had enrolled me in it when I was little!!

I think Jazz is more fun for little ones. More upbeat.

Answer 10

I think you should take her to ballet! I used to go ballet and I loved it, so maybe she'll love it. Oh yea how old is she?
