Can I learn to dance and practice basic skills at the age of 4?

Four-year-old children can practice some basic skills when learning dance, but it should be noted that bending, splitting and handstand are not suitable for children before the age of six.

Because preschool children generally lack control of abdominal and thigh muscles, they can't control and stabilize the pelvic position. At this time, let the children learn to do waist twisting, bending and other actions, which is easy to cause the pelvis to lean forward. Coupled with the excessive extension and rapid rotation of the cervical spine in dance, it is easy to cause rotational subluxation of the atlantoaxial axis, which may eventually cause problems of the lumbar spine and cervical spine.

Extended data:

Preschool children lack understanding of music and dance and can only imitate them. Teachers should work hard on playfulness and fun, so that children can feel the dance slowly. Take the children's palace dance class as an example. Generally, children over 4 years old enter school. The goal of learning dance in the first two years is to stimulate and cultivate children's sense of rhythm and rhythm, and then transition to a certain dance action; Formal dance training is not until after the age of 6.

Generally, the collective teaching of dance is 1 hour, which should not exceed 1.5 hours, with one or two short breaks in between. Parents should not force their children to practice at home when they are not sure about the standardization of movements.
