How To Choose The Right Ballet Classes Los Angeles For Your Child

By Cynthia Thomas


If your child is interested in dance, you may be wondering how to find the right class for them. There are many different styles of dance and many studios that are offering lessons. You need to consider each child individually since different kids need different things from a dance teacher. Here are some tips that you can use to find the right ballet classes Los Angeles for your child.

Ballet has been around for hundreds of years. Many of the terms and names for different positions and steps are in French. This is because much of this art form was developed in France. It has since split off into other teaching styles including Russian and Cecchetti.

The age and experience level of individual classes is an important thing to check on. Classes that try and put different ages and experience levels together may not be a good fit and may actually end up with your child getting injured. Some moves are very difficult to do especially for young children who may not have much muscular strength.

It is also important to make sure that the person teaching the class is certified and has had dance experience that is related directly to ballet. There are teaching courses that people can take that will show them how to instruct safely and effectively. Because dance is such a physical activity you need to make sure that the person who is running the class will know how to keep kids from getting hurt.

It is a good idea to talk with your child as well to find out what they want to happen as a result of taking classes. Some kids want to be able to have fun and get some exercise while others want to make a career out of being a dancer. The classes that will be chosen for each of these situations are completely different. It is important to know how involved your child wants to be since a class that is too intense may be intimidating for your child.

A studio's location may make it a bad choice for you. It may not be a problem when kids are little to have one class a week and have to travel back and forth in traffic. If your child becomes very involved in this art form, however, it may mean that you are traveling to the same studio day after day. Travel time can really add up and so you need to be careful about this.

Of course, the cost of the classes is also an important factor. You should make sure you know up front what the costs will be and whether there are any additional expenses that may show up. These can include costumes, exam fees and other expenses that you may not have anticipated when you enrolled your child.

You may want to look online for dance studios or speak with other parents about where they send their child. There tends to be a lot of emotion and strong feeling linked to a dance studio especially if a student is competing or is heavily involved in dance so be prepared for some strong opinions. You may also want to visit different dance schools and see what they have to offer to make sure it is a good fit for your child.
