A Parent's Guide To Finding Children's Ballet Classes Los Angeles

By Cynthia Thomas


Finding the right class for any children's activity can be a challenge. If you don't know much about an activity you may worry that you are not picking classes that are a good fit for your child. If you are interested in enrolling your child in ballet classes Los Angeles, here is what you need to know about picking a good class for your child to participate in.

Often, ballet is described as being the foundation of other dance styles and many teachers recommend that children take ballet classes in addition to classes in other styles. Many moves are based off of ballet steps. The steps will usually have french names. This is because this particular style of dance was started in France hundreds of years ago.

One of the most important things to look for is a studio that has classes that are geared towards your child's age and experience level. Some steps and moves are extremely physically demanding and if a child has not had the right training or they are not physically strong enough they can injure themselves very badly. A good teacher will watch their students and be able to tell whether or not they are able to handle more advanced techniques.

A certified teacher who has experience with ballet is also important. You want to make sure that they know what the individual steps are supposed to look like and how they are supposed to be done properly. This can help keep your child from being injured as they get into more advanced skills.

You should also make sure that the classes are at the same intensity that your child wants. For example, classes that are taught at a professional level are generally much more serious and intense. This is because they are intended for individuals who want to move on and dance as a career. A child who may just want to get some exercise and social interaction may not enjoy this kind of class.

A studio's location may make it a bad choice for you. It may not be a problem when kids are little to have one class a week and have to travel back and forth in traffic. If your child becomes very involved in this art form, however, it may mean that you are traveling to the same studio day after day. Travel time can really add up and so you need to be careful about this.

You may think that expenses will be limited to clothing that your child will wear to class and perhaps a costume that they will wear in a recital or performance. You may be surprised to learn that there can be other costs as well that you may not anticipate. These can include competition fees and dance exam fees. A studio may also charge you for extra practice sessions or individual classes. You need to ask about all of the fees at the beginning of the year.

If you want to try and find a list of schools that you can check out, make sure you look online or speak to other parents whose children are involved in dance. You will be able to then visit individual studios and see if you like what they have to offer. While it can be nice to watch studios compete you may not get a clear idea of what their classes are like. Once you have seen some classes in action you can tell whether or not they are right for your young dancer.
