[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Op here.  Thanks, that is what I was trying to decide - ballet vs a school that offers a bit of everything. I thought ballet was the basics and you could branch out later if needed. Is that true?[/quote]

Not if your child doesn’t like ballet.

We started DD in a non competitive school. She has a lot of natural talent and affinity for dance, but if we had just tried her out in ballet, we wouldn’t have known that. As it was, the studio we went to (not in DC) offered an array of classes. If we made her “suffer” only ballet off the start, we never would have seen her natural skill and frankly, love, for dance. She does ballet now because it helps her other dance, but does so because she loves acro and other dance types and understands foundations now. Ballet bored her off the start, even though the instructor is a child whisperer.

Everyone hopes their child will somehow make it big, without making it big, because they have other dreams for them. Find a studio that makes your comfortable, that offers the experience and environment you want, and makes your child happy. When we had a BD party for DD early on at her studio, many of the parents of her friends in competitive schools wanted to come to our studio, because it’s kind, caring, and the kids are growing, now just repeating.
