[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Does WBS allow children to play other sports? I studied ballet as a child (Pennsylvania Ballet) and was forbidden to do so. I want my daughter to have more freedom if she studies dance. She has already asked me if she can take lessons and seems to have the body type that ballet teachers love. She is only 3.5 years old, so I am concerned that a school like WSB or Kirov would set her on a serious track quite early.

I don't have experience with Washington Ballet and I don't know if they allow sports. However, my 11 year old DD is at another studio taking five classes (different genres) of dance per week, which doesn't allow her any TIME to play sports. I'd love for her to play on school volleyball or basketball teams but the practices and games are all after school at the same times as her dance classes. I imagine in WB it would be the same, since they keep increasing the number of classes the kids have to attend each week as they get older.

Same goes for school plays, etc. No time to ever attend anything after school because of dance schedule. Something to think about if you want kids to be more well-rounded. My DD is perfectly happy just doing dance because she loves it so much. It is her sport, instead playing soccer, etc., she dances.
