[quote=Anonymous]Until age 8, ballet classes are all about following directions and movement. Formal ballet shouldn't begin before age 8. WSB is best left until a child is much older and really committed to ballet - unless you live nearby and it's the closest place. Even WSB has very few home-grown dancers that make it professionally. Most dancers who manage to become professionals (and that is dwindling with intl competition , dancers taking better care of bodies=longer careers, lack of arts funding) leave their base school during high school to train elsewhere if they want to "make" it. -mom of ballet dancer[/quote]
