Not to derail this thread, but do you really find ballet more active than sideline cheering?  My daughter does ballet and it does not seem very active at all. I've been thinking about suggesting cheering because it seems like much better exercise.  I have encouraged soccer and more traditional sports in the past, but she is only interested in the girly stuff. [/quote]

How old is your daughter, and what level of ballet is she in?

Ballet is a gateway to eating disorders and body dysmorphia. Do some research![/quote]

Or talk to some ballerinas.  My spouse was a professional dancer (not ballet) for a while, and we have lots of friends in the arts and dance world, and holy crap, can ballet mess people up.  Girls who stopped getting their periods, ate nothing but rice cakes to maintain the body type, etc.  I would not want my daughter to do ballet.  Lots of other kinds of dance and exercise in the world.  [/quote]
