There are a lot of moms and dads out there who want to send their kids to dance school, especially if they have girls. It's not about making your child a great dancer, it's just about letting your child practice their form and temperament and developing an interest. However, some parents feel that their children will be too impatient to learn dance, which will affect their studies. The reason for this is that after her daughter, Qin'er's mother, was sent to dance school, she had to spend a lot of time practicing every day because she had to perform in various places, and she didn't have time to study and couldn't read any books.
The grandmother said that at first she only wanted her children to practice their physique and temperament, but after they really learnt, the children did not want to miss out on competitions and performances, and this became a kind of inertia over time, and they could not stop. So she believes that if you don't want your child to become a dancer, don't send them to dance lessons too early, and if you want to practice your form and temperament, it's not too late for them to grow up and be interested in it.
Thinking about what Qin'er's grandmother said is not unreasonable, there are two sides to everything, learning dance can make the body beautiful, develop self-confidence, but also to pay more time and pain. What is the trade-off? We advise all parents to think clearly, after all, one of your decisions will affect the child's life.
What kind of children are suitable for dance lessons?
As a hobby, children's dance is not physically demanding, and can be learned by anyone without serious physical disabilities. However, many of the benefits of dance learning cannot be realized in the short term, and it is only through perseverance that a child will be able to reap the rewards. Of course, if you are a professional dancer, there are strict standards for body proportions, weight, height, and so on. Parents can let their children learn amateur or professional dance according to their children's actual situation.
How old is a child to learn dance?
In the eyes of doctors, many acquired spinal injuries in adults are related to improper exercise as a child. Because dance is, after all, training for physical ability, getting into dance training too early is not good for small children's muscle and bone development. Experts suggest that the most scientific age to start learning dance is 4 weeks old.
The children's formal dance lessons should take place between the ages of 7 and 10, when the children's bodies and bones are more fully developed. However, if parents want their children to be interested in dance, they should start from the age of 3-4 years old, in the kindergarten period, they can exercise their children's coordination of dance, such as dancing some children's dances and so on, which does not require the practice of basic dance skills. after the age of 5 years old, you can carry out some basic training of children's dance for your children.
5-7 years old, belongs to the early period of learning dance, do not overly let the child do splits, downward bending waist and other difficult movements. Adopt a positive and encouraging approach, let them watch themselves in the mirror and do the movements to cultivate the child's interest in dance. After about 2 years of training in this way, you can ask your child to be a little more professional in their basic skills.
If a child has outstanding talent, loves dance, and wants to learn dance professionally, it is best to wait until they are 10 years old or older. Because professional dance training is intense and long, it is very unfavorable to the growth and development of children under 10 years old.
There are three conditions that must be met in order for a child to be successful:
(1) Learning from a young age for ten years.
(2) The financial ability to meet learning needs.
(3) Early goal setting and determination.
These three conditions are indispensable.
Nowadays, there are many parents who send their children to learn dance, mostly for the purpose of cultivating their children's temperament and letting them have one more specialty, not for the purpose of making a living in the future. So parents don't have to worry about what their children will do when they grow up after learning dance, but now they should accompany their children to practice dance, build a good foundation, and participate in some meaningful performances. At the same time, on the basis of good dance, try to learn good cultural knowledge. With excellent dance skills, excellent cultural achievements, will get more and better opportunities for further study. In the future, when you grow up, you will have a wider and wider choice of employment. Instead of eating youthful rice, in addition to dance on nothing. For example, a friend of mine's daughter, from elementary school dance, has always aspired to take the art school. But God has not been willing, because of some reasons did not get in. But people's cultural achievements are good, it is said that later was accepted by the aviation academy, is now a beautiful stewardess.
