Which style??

Question

I have a five year old daughter and I want her to take dancing lessons. Which style should she take and why? Thanks.

Answer 1

Ballet is the best form of dance with which to start.  It's pretty much the core of almost all dance.

Answer 2

Definitely ballet, and tap. Ballet is always good for a child to learn young, same with tap. it's like riding a bike, once you learn it you never forget it!

             Hope i helped!

Answer 3

I have a 5 yr old girl also and she just completed her first ballet session and recitale. And ooohhh was it precious!! I agree with the others. And I def agree with: do what she acts interested in. If she doesnt like it then pull her out. Maybe try gymnastics and she how limber and what her talents are.

Answer 4

I, personally, would recommend ballet or tap dance. I think they're the most popular amongst young aged dancers and they're both dances that require a lot of practice. When she grows older and more comfortable with dancing she can try things like modern or jazz.

Answer 5

Tap/ballet combo class, they usually offer those at that age.

Answer 6

Definitely ballet since it is almost always required for a young dancer at any dance studio if she or you would like her to take other styles of dances. And ballet is the core and foundation to other various styles such as hip hop, lyrical, jazz, tap,etc. Taking ballet classes have definitely made other dance classes a lot easier for me since it has been taught in ballet. Good luck and she will definitely have fun as a bunhead. :)

Answer 7

ballet that would be cute since shes five and then maybe she could do hip hop cause now there are lots of movies with hip hop dancing like whats that show called with channing Tatum and i always which i could do what they can cause she will always be in shape and know how to dance and she could also tech little kids or teens

Answer 8

It depends on her personality if she is girly than ballet... But again it really depends what type of girl she is

Answer 9

Definitely ballet. She will develop technique and muscle control, and from there will be able to master any other kind of dance.

Tap and hiphop maybe fun, but let's face it, nobody really enjoys watching tap and it doesn't really train a girl in dance, and hip-hop is for older people.

Answer 10

at the age of five i was singed up into jazz

it combined pretty much everything

i like to describe it as a modern ballet

im still dancing to this day

and ive moved on and tried other things when i was old enough to decide what i really liked for myself

and i aslo had this great jazz experience

i think jazz would be the perfect thing to start with

Answer 11

I think that Ballet and tap are the best to start out with, but that's just in my opinion. When I was younger, tap was my favorite.

Answer 12

Jazz, and tap & OF COURSE BALLET !

haha =P

=] .. also try putting her in gymnastics i was in it when i was little & it was so much fun, also gets out all your energy & hyperness .

Answer 13

no ballet.

its cute and traditional but  alot of hard work and i doubt shell like or have as much fun as a different dance class.

id go with MODERN.

maybe jazz if not,.

Answer 14

Ballet, it's simple, elegant, and very fun to watch at her level in age.

Answer 15

ballet

tap

irish dancing

Answer 16

ballet and young girls fit together ;]

when she gets older try something more mature like hip hop

Answer 17

I would say jazz because it has elements of ballet but is not as stiff and difficult. It is a less stressful type of dancing to do and learn in my opinion, but it is also deemed to be a real type of dancing. Just think Fosse! Very fun and cool!

Answer 18

at the dance studio i go to , and ive been to 2 different ones, almost everywhere teaches a basic class that includes Ballet tap and jazz. I started off with that and am still into it, this is my 12th year dancing and i love it :] good luck!

Answer 19

Definitely ballet, I took it when I was younger, and it helped me become much more flexible. I would also recommend tumbling, or some kind of gymnastics, its so much fun!!! Depending on you tastes, maybe jazz or hip-hop. I absolutely think you should go with ballet and tumbling/gymnastics though!!!

Answer 20

jazz is soo fun! i remember being five and being in ballet and i hated it! for a 5 year old it is wayy to boring and it in jazz you can do like freestyle!

Answer 21

I would say hip hop.

it's more fun than most styles.

:]

Answer 22

Ballet.

Answer 23

little girls love dressing up pretty and taking ballet.  you've got to get the little tu tu and not just leotards.

Answer 24

i WOULD DEFiNATELY RECOMMENd  BALLEt CLASSEs;; I THiNK BEiNG A BALLERiNA iS REALLy GiRLY AND FiTS PERFECT FOR A 5 YEAR OLd =)

Answer 25

Ballet is always fun for little girls, but i think that after that you should progress into contempory. I thinks its beautiful, and it will give her grace and poise.

Answer 26

Jazz dance. And then if she likes that then have her do ballet if she is interested. ballet is hard though. And very mean on young girls weight so watch her. My daughter is gonna do Video Games! I hope to eventually let her enter in a competition!

Answer 27

ballet

Answer 28

it all dependes on her and if she is all girli and feminine? the let her b a ballerina but if she likes other thing then gymnastics or hip hop.

Answer 29

You must procure a book which contains all styles of dances and give to your daughter, sit with her and watch what she prefer most. Never mix your choice with her. Your daughter's sole decision (choice) will be final she should take and will be successful in life. You must not impose your choice on her.

Answer 30

idk..it would probably depend on your daughters personality..but i would just say ballet or something(:
