Interesting thread, but it begs the question... what do you do with a child that doesn't show any athletic ability? I appreciate that not every kid will shine in the athletic arena but it's the only area on Miss 7's report that is below an age appropriate levelThat was from jojo, sorry I don't know how to do the block thing yet.
I would say try different things to see what clicks, that's what I was doing, 6-8 week classes one at a time to see what they liked, turned out they like them all, and did well at them all, but the dance classes is what stuck, it's been about a year now. I think what is important is that they have fun with it and as long as they're having fun we'll continue.
What is interesting to me is when I watch my 5 year old dance you can see her counting to herself to make sure she does the move on time, also directing the other girls if their off a beat, and she learns the name of every step she is taught (she's so intense). My 4 year old just goes on stage and does it with the biggest smile you have ever seen.
