[quote=Anonymous]DD will be 4 in March.  She has been taking ballet classes since she turned three at a place near our house.  I don't think she gets a lot out if the class, but at this age I kind of figure it's meant more to encourage creativity and body awareness rather than teach them to dance.  She doesn't practice at home, but I didn't think that was really necessary at this age since its not a real dance class.  The class she is in is for 3 to 4.5 year olds.  So the teacher after her class today said that she needs to start listening more or dd will not be able to attend the class anymore.  I was really shocked because this was the first time anyone had mentioned anything to me, and the times I had watched the class from the door it didn't seem like her behavior was any different from the other girls.  She goes to preschool/daycare and they have never said anything about her behavior being disruptive there.  This wouldn't be a big deal but dd loves ballet-- she loves dressing up and the specialness of taking classes.  That and I already signed her up for the next session and they won't give me a refund.  Is this normal?  It's a 45 minute class, am I unreasonable for thinking that short of a child being dangerous it is weird to kick a child out of what is not really a structured class anyways?[/quote]
