It depends on what kind of dance your child is learning, as some kinds of dance have inherent safety risks. If you learn folk dance, ballet and other hidden dangers, because it contains ligament stretching, strength training and skillful movements. If you learn modern dances such as mechanical dance, jazz, street dance, etc., and do good strength training, you will not have any problems.
Again, the so-called "safety":
One type of trauma is sudden, such as the teacher's protection is not in place or the student's own movements have the wrong accidental fracture, fracture, ligament strain, damaged meniscus, muscle strain, and so on.
The other is a long-term frustration of the disease, such as the most simple skill movement "waist" every waist if you do not have good control will be frustrated with the hand, not serious if there is no problem, but the dance learning eight or nine years (generally walk). The children of professionals, this also depends on the child's personal situation), and so on the old will certainly have many chronic disease attack.
I'm here to say a little extra ha, my teacher is now retired because of the dance, cloudy days, rainy wrist pain, wash their own socks can only wash 3, wash the fourth socks, wrist pain, which is an example of chronic disease, I practiced the side of the air in my childhood, meniscus injuries, and the teacher has nothing to do with it, is because I jumped to the ground when the leg muscles did not tighten, resulting in injuries, and only six months before the good,
This is the first time that I have ever been in a position to do this, but I'm not sure if I can do it, because the leg muscles are not tightened.
But 7 year olds are perfectly capable of learning to dance, in fact, children can be exposed to dance when they are 3 years old. Learning to dance should be the earlier the better, can develop the child's music cell, in a child ligament stretching effect is better, the softness and strength are to see is the talent, hard work and time years
The most important thing is to find an experienced and responsible dance teacher is to ensure the safety of the fundamental. With a good teacher, you don't need to worry about safety. It is more important that the child is cooperative (except for chronic cumulative illnesses)
Generally speaking, 3 to 5 years old is the best age to start learning to dance. This is because the 3-year-old baby's mobility as well as physical coordination has grown to a certain extent, the body's flexibility is very good, the sense of rhythm is a little poor need to learn as well as consolidate but overall, at this time the baby has the basic ability to learn to dance, you can gradually begin to cultivate his ability to dance.
At the age of 4 or more, practicing the basics at the age of 5 or 6 is the best. Because the large muscle groups of young children are not fully developed before the age of 4, they are prone to problems when they start practicing. To have good basic skills, it is best not to exceed the age of 9 years old, and at the latest not to exceed the age of 11 years old. The best time to practice flexibility is between the ages of 9 and 11. After that, it is not easy to achieve the best flexibility. If it's just a hobby, it doesn't matter when you start. 4 years old is the most scientific age to start dancing. Because dance is after all a training of the body's ability, too early into the dance training for small children's muscle and bone development is not favorable.
As a hobby, children's dance does not require a high level of physical conditioning and can be learned as long as there are no serious physical defects. However, many of the benefits of dance learning cannot be experienced in the short term, and perseverance is the only way to get more out of it. Of course, if you study dance professionally, there are more stringent standards for dancers' body proportion, weight, height, and so on. Parents can let their children learn amateur or professional dance according to their children's actual situation.
The child should start learning dance between the ages of 7 and 10, when the child's body bones are more fully developed. However, if you want your child to be interested in dance, you should start at the age of 3-4 years, and in kindergarten, you can exercise your child'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, you can carry out some basic training of children's dance for your child.
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.
