[quote=Anonymous]Op here. She has attended many my gym or little gym birthday parties at younger age. I think they are more fun and geared towards younger ages. Gymnastic is not her only thing that she is doing, but she always ask for going back to ballet every time she watches the nutcracker performance and tutu skirt.  I hesitate every time because of the same reasons above. She looks really good in those costume but she can't ballet or dance.

I and DH had a talk about it if we should continue to sign her up for gymnastic because of her lack of coordination and improvement. We decide to bite the tongue to sign up again, and we also decide to add to sign up another basic technique training at another dance studio to supplement her hoping that may help her. I find out that those moms sign up their girls at 2-3 different dance studios as early as age 4/5.....omg....we are so faling behind. Her friend is there at this gymaatic class, and she really wants to continue even though gymnastic is really hard on her. She says it hurts her body when stretching but she is trying her best at every lessons. We dont want to sign up city/county  recreational classes because other than great price, she almost learns nothing from them with zero teacher pressures. Only cons for those gynmastic classes that i sigh up are peer pressure, teacher is more strict and higher expectation and also the price (around $3k a year). I and DH think that if we decide to let her to go back to dance or ballet one day, these gymnastic foundation/technique will help her a lot.  If she can improve from her baseline, probably it is good enough. Ultimately, I and DH don't want her to continue gynmastic once if she has learned those splits/arch etc whatever ( do not have to be perfect poses), fade gymnastic away to go back and get a stronger start at ballet or dance. We prefer her to do ballet or dance more.[/quote]
