[quote=Anonymous]How old is she? I have a 17 y.o. DD who started playing basketball when she was 3. At 15 she decided she wanted to quit and take up dance. (apparently this is an age where kids 'try out' other identities etc) She ended up in ballet and contemporary. She's very good (she's an athlete so the skills transfer) but needed privates to learn the basics. She takes dance classes about 3-4 days a week or even more. As a PP said, it keeps her out of trouble. It also keeps her happy--she's ALWAYS happy when she comes back from dance. The place where she takes lessons is not competitive. She has one performance a year (and the first year she skipped the performance). It's been a godsend, OP, for her to not have to do dance through school and worry about her grade, etc. If she has a test in school, she may not go to dance the night before. It's all so easy. If your DD loves dance, then keep her going, OP. There are benefits that aren't so obvious.[/quote]
