[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My 8 year old showed recently she had no idea what to do at a dance by standing around watching and finally doing aikido moves instead of dancing!  [b]I tried to advise but I'm not much of a dancer so I have no idea how to really help her. [/b] Is there a dance class anyone could recommend that would be helpful for this situation?  Would like her to feel at least moderately comfortable at future dances!  Thanks.[/quote]

Why do you feel you need to advise, OP?  There will be some things that your daughter doesn't know how to do, or situations that will make her nervous, and that's okay.  Take a deep breath and step back--she'll figure it out.  That is better than mom/dad swooping in and protecting from every sling and arrow.

I say this as a mom of a slightly younger daughter who sometimes needs to remind myself of this.  We don't have to solve every minor inconvenience; they need to build grit and figure things out for themselves.  The kids will be alright![/quote]
