First dance classes

As a parent, making choices for your child is of utmost importance, be it getting their ears pierced, buying the full team kit before they're out of nappies or whether to try and introduce your favourite foods to save time when preparing meals. Another choice which many parents find they must make is whether or not to introduce their child to dance classes such as movement to music or ballet. Of course everyone's child is a star in the making; however the choice of class early on by the parent is crucial. For the dancing tots, any type of movement is fun and worth doing, especially when there is lovely music playing as an accompaniment to their dance class debut. For many children, a simple dance class - such as movement to music - is an ideal way to get your child moving and even work to control those hyperactive moments which wear any parent out, yet energise the child even more. Some parents prefer to enrol their children in the nearest ballet class, teaching children from an early age the importance of discipline, control, and coordination, alongside performing simultaneously with the music. For classes such as these many dance schools have online listings on parenting websites which can be filtered by dance style and location, for example, and many take out adverts in primary school newsletters and distribute leaflets locally. When catering for young children who are beginning dance classes for the very first time, dance teachers tend to keep classes informal and fun with an emphasis on enjoyment. Many parents are encouraged to stay, so be prepared! Teachers rarely expect the budding ballet dancer to arrive in their best tights and leotards - this may come with age - so kitting your child out in leggings and a top with ease of movement is best to make sure they get the most out of their first dance class. When it comes to buying uniform, Dancewear Central can cater for their every need!
