What kind of dancing for kids? Please help.?

Question

What kind of dancing class for my daughter, 11? Links, ect..would help! Thanks!

Answer 1

You should enroll her in a Jazz class. They are really good for beginners, are laid back, and are super fun. Then as she progresses she can branch out to ballet, modern, and hip-hop.

Answer 2

The question should be what do you think your daughter would be interested in? If you push her to do something she may not like, you would both be miserable. Ask her opinion and work it out from there. Most pre-teens like modern dance eg a bit of hip-hop, modern jazz etc...Ballet is a good foundation for a lot of dances but requires discipline and hard training- something your daughter may not enjoy especially since she's older.

Answer 3

I would have to say Jazz and Hip Hop!!

but it also really depends on what you child likes!! up beat thing or are they more on the lines of laid back type of dancing!! If so then for that ballet!!

but if you do stay in California in the Rancho area!!

try www.myspace.com/studioelite they might have something you kid likes

if not look on youtube...type in Studio Elite and show you child a few of the clips and see what they like!!

I attend that studio and i find it to be alot of fun!!

Good Luck♥

Answer 5

Try Ballet. Ballet is an amazing art form that will help her in so many other ways. I have done ballet for 6 years and I love it. It takes away the stress of everyday life and it makes you stand taller and helps you to gain confidence.

Answer 6

hula

hip hop

ballet

west african is pretty fun too.

Answer 7

I believe you should leave it up to her, but I have to say that if you put her in Ballet and she's not extremely skinny, she will suffer from that choice:) But any other type of dance is open to all types of people. Let her choose and go for it!
