[quote=Anonymous]Assuming that you are willing, I'd try 1-2 of each per week, depending on what works for you. The more reputable ballet-focused dance schools will have only "pre-ballet" or "creative movement" at age 6. "Recitals" will be once/year and should involve minimal costumes/cost. That said, I think that gymnastics provides better conditioning than any other sport up to age 10 or so. If the child shows exceptional promise, it seems easier to shift from gymnastics to ballet around age 10. Either teaches valuable life lessons. Neither, when properly paced, should lead to lots of bandages on a regular basis...[/quote]
