Children's dances. What is important for parents to know?

Not sure what to do with your baby? The best choice would be children's dances. This is both physical activity and creativity at the same time. Today there are a huge number of different studios and schools where children dance is taught. What should I look for when looking for a team for your child?

Dance style

At the very beginning you have to decide that your child will dance. Ballroom, pop, hip-hop, aerobics, classical ballet and much more - all these are children's dances. The movements, of course, are very different from each other. If you want to develop coordination in your child, then rhythmic dances, for example, cheerleading that is fashionable today, are best suited. If you want to give your baby a wonderful stretch and grace, then you should not find anything better than classical choreography . However, the second is more suitable for girls. Boys almost always resist any kind of dancing at all, but in vain. Children's dances perfectly develop concentration, a sense of space and your own body.

Group Age

Children's choreographic groups can be of completely different age categories. It is very important to pay attention to this, not only because your child may be physically difficult there (it will not be easy for him to remember the movements prepared for the older group). It is also necessary for the child to be emotionally comfortable in the team. After all, if you give a 4-year-old baby to a group of 10-year-olds, the likelihood that he will find friends there is very small. It is necessary to make the child go to classes with desire, and not force him to do everything “from under the stick”.

As a rule, children's dances for the smallest are the same program. These are game classes, round dances. In movements, nothing new has been invented so far: these are always various “butterflies”, “grasshoppers” and “mills” that strengthen children's muscles at an early stage. Giving a stretch to your child in childhood is the best thing you can do for him. Kids practically do not feel anything when they are stretched, but adults can scream in pain. To sit on the twine, or at least get up on the bridge - it's great to be able to do at any age.

Teachers

Do not be too lazy to learn more about the choreographer to whom you plan to give the child. What is his work experience? It is important not only that he has a dance education, but also that he knows how to work with children. The teacher should not yell at children. However, letting them behave badly in the classroom is also not a sign of professionalism. It is important that kindness and rigor be in moderation.

Pay attention to whether the team participates in contests and competitions. In extreme cases, whether reporting concerts are held. This is important because with the help of performances, your child will learn not to be afraid of the stage and the audience. And you can see the result of his work, as well as the work of the teacher.

Clothes and shoes

If you have already found a group suitable for you and recorded your child there, do not forget to purchase the right shoes and clothes for him. Simple Czechs, sports shorts and a T-shirt - all that was needed at the very beginning. Do not forget to braid the girl! Disheveled hair will distract her from classes.

At the very beginning, it makes no sense to buy all this in professional dance stores. Of course, in them you will find only the highest quality uniforms, however, the prices there are appropriate. And if your child after the first lesson does not want to go dancing anymore? It turns out that the money will be wasted.

Choose only the best for your child and do not forget that dance is life!
