One word of caution about dance, I think it may be the most consuming of all the activities a child can take up. I know several dancers who gave up every other outside activity in middle school due to dance. Lots of sports are demanding, but (at least in our community) dance seemed crazy demanding at a fairly young age. I'm sure there are positive aspects to it, but if your D also thrives on a variety of activities in her life, it might not be the best fit.
