[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Wow. You folks are not well informed individuals at all. It all boils down to the dance studio. Competing has nothing to do with their training. At our studio, there is a strong focus on ballet, they get at least 3 hours of ballet and additional technique and stretch and strength training on top of that each week. The focus is not on the routines. They do a few routines, but nothing like some competitive studios. The focus is solely on training and preparing the dancers (who want it) for the professional world. [/quote] Ballet 3 hours a week is fine for young kids. By ten years old they need 1.5 hour classes 3-4 times a week and middle school add another hour class for pointe and 5 times 1.5 hour classes a week at least. Less than that and it shows in port de bras , turnout, bent legs. And the everything on the right side drives me crazy. It’s so noticeable. But seven is a good time to try something and see how she likes it. [/quote]
