Children can learn ballet from the age of 4. If it is too small, it is not good for the child's bone development. The teacher may explain the action, but the baby may not understand it. Of course, it can't be too late, because the practice of combining rigidity with flexibility must start from an early age in order to lay a good foundation. At this time, learning is mainly based on simple basic movements. If the child has outstanding natural conditions, likes dancing very much and is willing to learn professional dance, it is recommended to wait until 10 years old or older.
Children can learn ballet from the age of 4 to 15, and they can get on their toes after 10, but as long as the training method is proper, the age of children getting on their toes can be advanced. In domestic ballet companies, most children start to learn ballet at the age of four or five. According to the textbook of Beijing Dance Academy, children begin to touch their toes after they are three or four years old. However, this practice is very different from that of foreign countries. Toe is only a small part of the whole class, and the time before and after is only ten minutes, and not every class has toe training. In addition, some teachers pay close attention to each child's ability, so it is safe for children to stand on tiptoe. But only when the child has enough strength and ability can he stand on tiptoe.
2. What are the benefits of children learning ballet?
2. 1, improve your figure and lose weight.
Nowadays, many urbanites sit and work and seldom exercise. But in this way, I'm afraid of gaining weight. There are many shoulder and arm movements in the basic movements of ballet, which is especially suitable for office white-collar workers to relax their nervous shoulders. The biggest advantage of this activity is its wide range of adaptation. At the tide, a fat old lady in her sixties also came to ballet. After a long time, the old lady's health has greatly improved.
2.2, improve coordination ability
Dance courses are divided into classes according to grade differences and spring and autumn, and their dance steps are in line with the music of the course, so the rhythm is simple and clear, easy to master, and can improve the sense of music rhythm. Divergent dance movements can form different combinations. In order to let students really appreciate and master the movements, they will adjust the movements from time to time and construct different combinations, so that they can use their brains and improve their physical coordination ability.
2.3, practice patience and will.
Learning to dance ballet is not as fast as drawing and singing. Dancing well does not happen overnight. It requires girls to practice constantly, and can practice patience and will. Nowadays, ballet combines classical ballet, modern dance and folk dance, which not only improves the common sense and interest of learning ballet, but also broadens the thinking scale. It can also enhance girls' courage and confidence.
2.4, tall and straight, dignified behavior.
Girls learn ballet. In the process of learning dance, all kinds of basic ballet training are good for her bone development and figure, which can correct some girls' bad posture and figure at present and keep girls upright and dignified whether standing or sitting.
2.5, improve temperament, enhance self-confidence.
A woman who practices ballet may not be beautiful, but she can't stop an elegance, a calmness and a charm from the inside out. The ballet coming down from the temple not only makes people beautiful, but also sets off the inherent elegance, so that "mortals" can also appreciate the dexterity and elegance of swan dance. From this perspective, ballet, as a way to keep fit and improve temperament, can be learned by anyone.
3. What are the disadvantages of children learning ballet?
1, the child's thigh or calf begins to thicken.
2, the child's waist is obviously thinner than the two thighs.
The child's calf is curved compared with his thigh.
4, the child's leg or back muscles are also in a state of tension when the body is relaxed (the child should keep the muscles as soft as cotton when relaxing).
4. What should children pay attention to when learning ballet?
1, find qualified training institutions and teachers to ensure that you can learn the correct posture as soon as you get started. It is best to find an institution with a teacher-student ratio of one to one or one to two. If there are too many students, teachers may not be able to take care of them and correct their mistakes one by one.
2, dance shoes must be professional, moderate hardness, wearing shoes that are too old and worn out is easy to hurt your feet.
3, flexibility training should be moderate, so that children can bear the right strength, training can not be too fast, so as not to strain muscles and tendons.
4, strictly abide by the teacher's teaching, children regardless of age, study time, practice posture must be correct.
5. Practice every day when you are a beginner 15 minutes. The progress of the course should not be too fast, but should be gradually increased to 30 minutes a day. During the practice, rest in time to avoid damaging your arch, leg muscles and tendons.
6. If your knees and ankles hurt while dancing, apply ice cubes first 10 minutes. You can go home after the pain is gone, or you will see a doctor.

In the eyes of China people, ballet is an exotic product, which sprouted in China in the19th century. In the following decades, due to the constant war, this "thing" has been dormant. It was not until 1950s, with the establishment of New China and the continuous improvement of comprehensive national strength, that ballet officially landed in the field of vision of ordinary people in China and gradually developed.
The first is the practice of basic skills. Basic skills and skills are essential for anyone who learns to dance. However, due to different conditions, different understanding and acceptance abilities, and different people, the learning progress is fast and slow. How can a dancer better train her skills? This requires scientific training methods.
No matter in ballet, classical dance, folk dance, modern dance or modern dance, we can see different spins-two turns, cross-legged, whip-legged, side-legged, flat-lying, leg-sucking, atti-turned and so on. We will all watch him (her) turn around a few times. From a professional point of view, quantity and quality are one of the core criteria for judging a dancer's spinning skills. Needless to say, quantity, so what is quality? That is to say, in the process of rotation, whether the dance posture is standardized, whether the spatial positioning is standard, whether it is stable when it stops, whether it has a fixed posture at the end, and so on. Take the thirty-two "whipping" of the "Black Swan duet" in Goose Lake as an example. If there is no standard dance, spatial positioning, steady dance and the number of rotations, how can the audience applaud again and again?
In training, we often only pay attention to the number of "circles" and ignore the final fixed dance. If we put this "circle" in the dance work, how can it seamlessly take the next action? Dance pays attention to "beauty" and fluency and coherence (according to the traditional dance methods at home and abroad, choreography and audience habits require dancers' movements and stage scheduling lines to be fluent). What is the significance of this "circle" in the whole dance if you can't take the next step better after turning around?
Therefore. If you want to practice "rotation", you need to pay attention to the following aspects:
First of all, the "standing" of half toe is the most important point in rotation. Only when the toes stand to the maximum, the contact surface between the feet and the ground will be reduced. From a physical point of view, the friction of objects with the same mass will decrease only if the contact surface is small. When the friction is small, you can turn faster and turn more "circles" with no effort. Otherwise, it's even more difficult for us to turn "two turns" with our whole feet and turn eight or nine times. In terms of dance, great efforts will be made on the face, and dance pays attention to beauty. Before and during the completion of the action, you should not show any anxiety, but should give people a feeling of relaxation and freedom, as well as a sense of integrity and comfort in one go. Besides, if you put all your efforts into this "circle", how much effort will it take to complete a work? How can we have more energy to express the thoughts and feelings of the characters in the works?
Second, if the knees, waist and back are not straight and the chest is buckled, it will be difficult to get better. For example, in the "two-position turn" and "side-leg turn", if the main leg is not straight and the back and chest are not straight, then the strength will be broken down. It can't be better. If the knees are not stretched straight, especially in ballet, it will destroy the beautiful and vigorous beauty of ballet.
Third, when starting the law, "squatting" is also very important. We often say that "without a good squat, there is no good jump". In fact, we can also say, "Without a good squat, there is no good turn." Only when you squat well can you have a better "standing posture".
