How To Choose The Best Canadian School Of Dance Ottawa For Your Child

By Stephanie Phillips


If you have a child who loves moving to music you may be thinking about enrolling them in dance. It can be a fantastic way for them to get exercise as well as learn discipline and other valuable skills. It is important to pick the right Canadian school of dance Ottawa, however. Taking your time to decide and considering the following factors will help you narrow down your choices and pick the program that meets you child's needs as closely as possible.

You will want to make sure that the teachers have the proper training in order to teach your daughter or son as safely as possible. It is possible to hurt yourself while dancing but a properly trained teacher can help reduce the chance of your child becoming seriously injured. Look for experience and formal training that focuses on age appropriate skills that will not be too much for your son or daughter's level of physical development.

You should look for a school that has classes geared to your child's age group. If your child is a lot younger than the rest of the students he or she may find it difficult to learn the skills they are being taught and if your child is a lot older they may not enjoy the class as much or may become bored with the classes.

If you have a child who has been taking classes for a while and are looking for a new school, you may want to look for ones that allow students to take exams and progress through formally learning a set array of steps. Teacher that follow a specific syllabus or instructional series can help your child progress at a safe and age appropriate rate.

While it may be tempting to stick with a single type of dance instruction you may want to look for a school that teaches a variety of disciplines. This will allow your child to try different styles and choose the one that fits their personality and energy level best.

Competing is something you may not think about when your child is young but it isn't a bad idea to do so. You may want to find out if the school has a competitive team for your child to try out for. Some schools will allow your child to compete if they take certain classes while others may require your son or daughter to try out in order to join the team.

Most dance classes run from the fall to the spring and dancers have the summer off. If you want your child to have year-round instruction you might want to look for a school that offers summer classes as well. Using the summer months to research schools and figure out which classes to sign your child up for can be time well spent.

If your child has a good experience at a dance school it may just be the start of a long and beautiful relationship with this art form. Be encouraging, choose the right instructor and you may just find that you have a rising star on your hands.
